Kingdom Season 6 Episode 5 will heavily concentrate on the action plot as the story proceeds towards the invasion of Liewei's fortress. The previous episode finished with Shin and Youtanwa stationing their squads for this key attack. This setup will dominate the upcoming episode. Moreover, it should raise the stakes for key generals.

The Mountain Queen, Youtanwa, will obtain the most spotlight in this episode. Their climbing and guerrilla tactics make them essential against the fortified positions. Kingdom Season 6 Episode 5 should display these specialized skills in fiery battle choreography.

General Ousen's audacious decision to bypass Kokuyou and directly target Gyou has caught the Zhao forces off guard. Li Mu, Zhao's sharp tactician, now has to answer to this unplanned trick. His shot to mobilize the royal guard from the Kantan palace faces bureaucratic obstacles.

Episode 4 widened the battlefield. Three armies congregated, and a third faction upset plans. Whereas, Shun Shuishu finds out that the Qin army had left their feint in Jinan and was now marching straight toward Liewei. It startled the Zhao commander tremendously.

Shifts in command orders left frontline units exposed. Li Mu immediately dispatched messengers to Handan, asking for the deployment of the royal guard. This subplot, rallying palace forces, has become a frequent theme. It directed the political intricacies that interfere with military responses.

The episode had a brief but noteworthy appearance of Sima Shang leading five thousand troops against the Yan army. This character is only known by manga readers as important for future events. This cameo provoked considerable excitement in this episode.

Kanki's forces confronted the Zhao troops, risking intercepting the Qin advance. The episode ended with Shin and Youtanwa formulating their assault on Liewei fortress. This cliffhanger ending built suspense for the next episode.

Kingdom Season 6 Episode 5 is going to be a paramount point in the Western Zhao Invasion arc. It will be where the real battle starts in shaping the campaign result.
