At daybreak the enemy STIRRED, which was camped on the plain, HOST into action. The TREAD of their massive formations could be heard for miles around as they marched to battle. On the hilltop the lieutenant proudly planted the STAFF holding the company flag, which was RENT and bloodied from the fighting.

Switch HOST and STIRRED and it will be correct.

host can mean a army and the enemy army makes more sense than host into action and the rest works

Host into action didn't make much sense. Host's two meanings are to sponsor as well as a large gathering (ie, the Heavenly Host).

The sentences need a bit more help than just the words you capitalized, at least the first one does. "Stirred" is okay, but I would leave out the words "which was" altogether, and just write "camped there on the plain, and the host went into action." (my opinion)
So it is "At daybreak the enemy stirred, camped there on the plain, and the host went into action." (hmm. I dunno'!)
"Tread" is okay, as is that sentence.
So are "staff" and "rent", and their sentence is fine, too.
See? You know what you're doing...

In the place where you have HOST it has to be STIRRED, since it has to be a verb there. Tread, staff, and rent seem to make sense. That would leave HOST in the place where you have STIRRED. That doesn't sound too good to me, but the first blank has to be a noun.

switch HOST and STIRRED in your paragraph, then it's perfect:
At daybreak the enemy HOST, which was camped on the plain, STIRRED into action.
See? :)
