會榮和至軍，亟趣之出。 Rong He then joined the army and urgently pressed for an offensive.

榮和先進北路，奪三卡，其左樹木幽深，令隱兵備抄襲，而自列陣曠野，伏槍以待。 Rong He led the northern column, took three fortified posts, hid troops in the dense woods on his left for a flanking strike, and himself drew up in the open with musketeers lying in wait.

榮和所部募自塞邊外，善避擊，傷者恆少，所謂「東山獵戶」也。 Rong He's troops were frontier hunters from beyond the pass, adept at evading fire; casualties were always light — the men known as the "Eastern Mountain Hunters."

榮和，字育堂。 Rong He, whose style was Yutang.

戰後所部育字營多驕縱，命李秉衡查辦，革職治罪。 After the war his Yu Battalion grew insubordinate; Li Bingheng was ordered to investigate, and Rong He was stripped of office and punished.
