About concord:

• Concord is subject-verb agreement in a sentence. That is the subject (noun) and the verb of the sentence must agree in person and number.
• Singular subjects take singular verb and plural subjects take plural verbs.
• When two nouns are joined by 'and' then it means plural nouns and so they take plural verb.
• But in the given sentence we have two nouns -'the general', 'his soldiers' joined using 'along with'.
• When two nouns are joined using 'along with' or 'in addition to', then the first noun must be considered for the agreement with the verb.
• The first noun here is 'the general', which is a singular third person noun. So the verb should also be in singular.
• Thus the verb 'has' is used.
• Therefore the answer is: The general along with his soldiers has arrived.
