In "Kingdom," Season 5, Episode 4 titled "The Responsibility of a Lieutenant," the plot advances with critical strategic developments and tactical maneuvers as Fei Xin's troops face new challenges in the Battle of Heiyong. The episode begins with the early arrival of an envoy from headquarters, Mo Lun, who communicates the strategy for the coming days and emphasizes the capture of a central hill as crucial for victory in the battle. Fei Xin's troops are informed that their role on the plain is pivotal in supporting the central army's efforts on the hill by preventing enemy attacks from below.

As the narrative progresses, Fei Xin's troops engage in combat, pushing deeper into enemy territory and noticing that the Zhao army is less effective compared to the previous day. A decisive moment arises when Xin and his team are alerted to an urgent situation on the front lines, leading to the discovery of a strategically vital position by a river, heavily defended by Zhao forces.

He Liao Diao, the tactician, and Qi Bao, the unit's river expert, assess the situation and conclude that crossing the river without bridges or boats seems impossible due to the enemy's fortifications. Despite the adverse circumstances, He Liao Diao refuses to give up, inspired by Xin's relentless spirit and determination to overcome obstacles.

A bold plan is devised to construct a bridge in the style of Fei Xin's troops to cross the river, involving multiple teams and utilizing the shallower sections of the river for the crossing. The plan includes diversionary tactics and a simultaneous attack from a less expected direction to outmaneuver the Zhao troops.

The episode reaches its climax as Yuan, assigned a critical role in the operation, struggles with self-doubt about his abilities and his contribution to Fei Xin's team. Despite his reservations, Xin and He Liao Diao express their unwavering confidence in Yuan's sense of responsibility, underscoring his importance to the mission and the team.

The episode concludes with Fei Xin's troops executing their complex and risky plan to cross the river and attack Zhao's forces from a strategic position.
