"Kingdom" Season 5 Episode 5 titled "A Determined Crossing" is an episode featuring strategic military maneuvers and intense battlefield dynamics.

The episode begins with a dialogue between Wo Lu and other characters, discussing Lieutenant Yuan's sense of responsibility. Xin, the captain, expresses his trust in Yuan and highlights his long years of service and reliability.

The scene shifts to a battlefield where the river turns red, indicating fierce combat. Amid the chaos, Lieutenant Yuan encourages his soldiers and acknowledges Xin's clever strategy. Qi Bao reflects on Yuan's unique leadership qualities.

As the battle escalates, Xin's troops engage in a fierce fight with the captain of Liyǎn and his forces. Despite strong resistance, Xin and his men remain tenacious, attempting to divert the enemy as part of their strategic plan. Liyǎn's troops, confident in their position, underestimate Xin's forces.

Yuan, leading a group of soldiers, plays a key role in the battle. Despite exhaustion and overwhelming odds, they continue fighting with remarkable endurance and determination.

The Liyǎn army suffers setbacks as the Fei Xin unit, led by Xin, successfully lands on the riverbank and gains ground. This unexpected turn of events alarms the Liyǎn leadership, particularly Mǎ Cheng, who recognizes the complexity of Xin's strategy.

Later in the episode, other battlefields are explored. On the left flank, Huan Yi's army and Zhao's troops are locked in a stalemate. The episode provides insight into the tactical decisions of various commanders, revealing the complexity of the ongoing conflict.

As the episode progresses, Fei Xin's troops, alongside He Liao Diao's unit, advance further, disrupting enemy formations. This prompts a strategic shift: Hei Ying, a commander of the Huan Yi army, orders a full-scale assault.

However, the appearance of Ji Hui, a key figure, dramatically alters the course of the battle. His presence inspires the Liyǎn soldiers and forces Hei Ying to reconsider their strategy.

The episode concludes with Fei Xin's unit and Ji Hui's army achieving a major victory, turning the tide of the battle. The narrator emphasizes the strategic importance of the central hill and the balanced state of the battle by the end of the second day.
