七十五故宿將，勇而訥，臨陣輒死鬥，身被重創十五次。 Qishiwu was an old veteran, brave but taciturn, who always fought to the death in battle and had been seriously wounded fifteen times.

七十五孤軍苦戰，徒以失懽群帥，未奏顯功，論者惜之。 Qishiwu fought heroically with isolated forces, but fell out with his fellow commanders and never won a decisive victory; later writers have mourned the waste of his talent.
