The episode takes place amidst the intense battle for Heiyong, where both sides are making decisive strategic moves to gain the upper hand. Jin Mao decides to conceal the death of his master and vows to continue the fight to prevent Heiyong from falling into enemy hands. The battle focuses on controlling the central hill, which both sides see as the key to victory.
Ji Hui demonstrates strategic acumen by ordering Mǎ Cheng to lead an attack on the left side of the hill, as he knows the enemy commander's position there. To balance the dynamics on the battlefield, Ji Hui decides to reinforce the right side and confront the enemy commander Mo Lun. Ji Hui's elite cavalry is deployed to disrupt Mo Lun's troops and enable Jin Mao's attack at full strength.
While the Zhao army makes significant progress, the enemy, under the command of Huan Yi, employs a surprising and unorthodox strategy. Huan Yi orders a retreat from the central hill, confusing both his own troops and those of Zhao. This move causes internal dissent within Huan Yi's ranks, as the soldiers question the sudden withdrawal after days of hard-fought gains.
Huan Yi remains undeterred by the unrest and insists that victory still depends on controlling the central hill. His enigmatic strategy and disdain for conventional military tactics bewilder both his own commanders and the enemy.
Meanwhile, Zhao's troops, led by Ji Hui and Jin Mao, work through the night to fortify their position on the central hill and prepare for potential counterattacks. The truth about Qing She's death is concealed to maintain morale and continue the fight. The Zhao commanders anticipate Huan Yi's next moves and attempt to turn the central hill into an impregnable fortress.
The episode also reveals the aftermath of a mysterious settlement that was burned down, leaving no survivors—a dark turn of events orchestrated by Huan Yi. This revelation sets the stage for a confrontation between Xin, the leader of Fei Xin's unit, and Huan Yi, leading to a heated debate about the morality and consequences of their wartime actions.
The narrative culminates in Xin questioning Huan Yi's brutal tactics and distinguishing between the actions of a soldier and those of a marauder, revealing a deep moral conflict amid the chaos of battle.
