Liu Qi (1098～1162), named Uncle Xin, was from Deshun Army (now Delong, Ningxia). His father was the military governor of Luchuan Army. Liu Qi was handsome in appearance, good at archery, and had a voice as loud as a bell. On the recommendation of Gao Qiu, the imperial court specially awarded him the position of Marquis of Hemen. He later served as the governor of Longyou, the commander of Xuanfu Division, the deputy general manager of Jiangdong Road, and the governor of Tijusu. Wei Qinjun, Guozhou Regiment Training Envoy, Longshen Guard Sixiangdu Commander, Tokyo Deputy Remainer, Wutai Army Jiedu Envoy, Guard Ma Jundu Yuhou and other positions.
In the tenth year of Shaoxing (1140), the Jin people tore up their alliance and attacked the Southern Song Dynasty. When the Jin people attacked Chen (now Huaiyang, Henan), Liu Qi discussed countermeasures with the prefect Chen Gui. At that time, all the generals said: "The Jin soldiers are invincible. We still let the elite soldiers kill the bleeding and protect the elderly and children before they return." Go to Jiangnan." Liu Qi said: "Although Tokyo (now Kaifeng, Henan) has been lost, the main army is still here. We can still defend the city. How can we abandon it? I have made up my mind. If someone talks about escaping again? Just behead him in public!" At this time, one of the generals, Xu Qing, nicknamed "Yaksha" stood up and said generously: "Liu Qi, the Taiwei, was ordered to assist in guarding Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan), and the soldiers' families were also If we follow, it would be easy to escape now. However, if we leave our parents, wife and children alone when we escape, we cannot bear it; if we take them with us to escape, how can we escape if the enemy attacks? Let's fight hard and survive in the face of death." This proposal was completely consistent with Liu Qi's idea. Liu Di was very happy and ordered people to sink the ship to show his determination without hesitation. As a result, the morale of the soldiers was high, and even the women helped. While sharpening their swords, people shouted: "Normally people look down on our Eight-Character Army, but today we are going to kill the enemy for the country!"
At that time, there was nothing to rely on in terms of military defense, and Liu Qi personally commanded The defense was roughly set up after six days. By then, the Jin people had arrived at the city. On this day, the Jin people besieged Shunchang (now Fuyang, Anhui). Because Liu Qi had set an ambush outside the city in advance, the Jin army Qianhu Ahei and two other people were captured. Liu Qi learned about the situation of the Jin people from their mouths. , so he sent more than a thousand soldiers to attack the Jin army at night, killing and capturing countless Jin soldiers. Unwilling to be reconciled, the Jin people sent 30,000 soldiers led by King Ge, the commander of the three routes, to join forces with King Longhu and King Longhu and approach Shunchang City. Liu Qi ordered the soldiers to open the city gates wide, but the Jin people suspected that there was an ambush and did not dare to enter. Shunchang had been besieged for four days at that time. That night, Liu Qi sent the fierce general Yan Chong to recruit 500 soldiers to attack the Jin army camp at night. It was about to rain, and lightning appeared from time to time. Liu Qi's soldiers saw something The man with braids was killed. As a result, the Jin people retreated fifteen miles. Liu Qi recruited another hundred people to attack the Jin camp. When there was lightning, the soldiers came out to kill the Jin soldiers. When there was no lightning, the soldiers hid and did not move. The Jin soldiers were confused and were killed with corpses everywhere, so they had to retreat again.
Jin Wushu came immediately after hearing the news of the defeat and personally directed the battle. The two sides agreed on a time for the battle. Liu Kai ordered people to poison the Ying River (today's Yingshang, Anhui) and used provocation to force Jin Wushu to cross the Ying River. In the hot weather, the Jin soldiers came from afar and were exhausted. He got off his horse and drank the water from the Ying River. As a result, the Jin soldiers and their horses were poisoned, and the Jin soldiers were tired and exhausted. Liu Qi's soldiers rested in the cool of the morning. In the afternoon, when the Jin soldiers were listless, they suddenly rushed out and fought desperately. The commanders Zhao Lu and Han Zhi were hit by several arrows and still refused to stop fighting. The Jin soldiers were defeated and nearly 10,000 people died. , Jin Wushu's powerful formations such as "Tie Fu Tu", "Guaizi Ma", and "Eternal Victory Army" were all broken by Liu Qi.
In this battle, Liu Di only had no more than 20,000 troops, and only 5,000 were used in the battle, while the Jin soldiers had hundreds of thousands. However, Liu Di repeatedly made clever plans and finally defeated the enemy with a small number of soldiers. Shengduo defeated the self-confident Jin Wushu. From then on, the Jin people were frightened by Liu Qi's reputation, and Liu Qi's fame shocked the whole country.
