The three armies were flooded, and the flood from upstream rolled down. In the face of such a natural disaster, Liu Xiu, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Xu Shiji, no matter how many troops they had, were still so powerless at this time.
At this moment, Li Mu, who had been patient for a long time, led the troops to attack, and Qi Jiguang's 10,000 Tengjia navy troops left in Jingbei began to beat up the drowned dogs. The rattan armor is definitely the best equipment for the navy. While maintaining its original advantages, even its only shortcoming of being afraid of fire has been circumvented after entering the water!
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang's troops included a considerable portion of the navy. Under the impact of the flood, although the small boats could not protect themselves, the large warships were still able to hold on.
But even so, many warships could not help but flow down the river under the impact of the flood. For a time, the navy was in chaos and could not be organized into combat power.
If the flood was smaller and Zhu Yuanzhang's navy could still organize a certain amount of combat power, Zhuge Liang might gain something from this battle, but it would definitely not be that big.
At this time, regardless of the generals above or the soldiers below, everyone was trying their best to survive in the flood. Some people hugged a floating log and refused to let go, and some people died. Clinging to a rock that happened to come across in the wash of the flood.
And at this time, what made the alliance of princes even worse was that Jiu Chong, the number one general under Xu Shiji, actually chose to rebel at this time.
Moreover, he fully implemented his ruthless style when taking action, showing no mercy at all, and decisively killed Pang Xi and Huang Quan who were nearby.
For a person like Jiu Chong, it doesn't seem to be an easy task for him to be loyal to one person! His loyalty is often driven more by his own interests!
Moreover, Jiu Chong is different from other barbarian generals. The implanted identity of this one is Jiu Feng's brother, and he is also his biological brother.
It is precisely because of this that after Jiufeng fell into the hands of the Jin army, Floating Water Fang had already begun the task of secretly contacting Jiuchong.
His sister was captured alive, and Liu Che was clearly in trouble. According to Jiu Chong's character, it was not a problem to find a stronger ship for him at this time!
But, first of all, betraying this reputation always doesn't look good in public. Some people choose loyalty not because of how loyal they are, but perhaps just for a good reputation.
Secondly, I have always thought that my strength is one of the best in the world, but I have never had the opportunity to display it. Moreover, Jiu Chong promised that he would later help the Jin army persuade his sister Jiu Feng to surrender. Although Jiufeng was captured now, he still maintained his final stubbornness.
Jiuchong could even promise to help the Jin army contact other barbarian generals!
Therefore, with such high self-esteem, Jiuchong believed that if he surrendered voluntarily, the Jin army would have to give him a reasonable price!
It is impossible that whatever Jiuchong wants, the Jin army will have to give it. Jiuchong thought that the price he wanted was worthy of his worth, but in the eyes of Jin Jun, this was a bit ungrateful, and the lion opened his mouth!
This trend cannot last forever. The reason why Yang Xuangan was able to charge such a high price back then was because he could directly open the door to Chang'an and help them reduce the casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers. Just for opening the city gate, and even for Yang Jian's death later, he could also take some credit. Moreover, the Jin army at that time was not as large as it is now.
Later, Meng Da had the courage to ask for such a high price because what Meng Da did was big enough and he dared to attack Liu Che with a knife!
If Jiu Chong has the ability to kill Zhu Yuanzhang among the coalition forces, what if he gives him a price? But with just a surrender and those illusory promises, Jiu Chong actually dared to let the Jin army make him a Nanman Marquis. Jiu Chong might not have woken up yet!
Li Xiang will definitely not give others a title of duke or king. The one below these two levels is a marquis. This guy wants to be a Nanman marquis. You can figure out the idea behind this! The title of Marquis of Nanman is no less important than the deputy governor of a state in the Jin army.
In the eyes of the Jin army, Jiu Chong was like a lion with his mouth wide open, and he still couldn't recognize his own weight!
To persuade Jiufeng to surrender, if the person is not in their hands now, Jiuchong would make this promise, which would be somewhat meaningful! But now that everyone has fallen into their hands, Jiu Chong is making this promise, which is at best the icing on the cake.
As for the other generals who later persuaded the Southern Barbarians to surrender, no matter how great your Jiuchong's influence is, can it still be compared to the Southern Barbarian Saint? They already have a saint, so what else do they need from you?
This wind cannot last long! If such a precedent is set now, won't everyone have to follow it in the future?
It’s not like the Marquises in the Jin army were captured by the wind. There are only a few people in the Jin army who have been granted the title of Marquis, let alone marquises. There are several Grand Governors and Lieutenant Governors who even have titles at this level. nothing! Like Yang Xuangan, the reason why he worked so hard to demote Yang Su this time was because he wanted a title?
Jiu Chong kept saying that he was a marquis, and he was also a marquis with special significance like Nanman Marquis. How could Li Xiang agree to him? Floating Water Fang is even less qualified to agree on behalf of Li Xiang!
It's just that Chen Pingping, the king of darkness, is very clever in this divisive plan! While at Baishui Pass, Chen Pingping asked the people in Floating Water House to design a Jiufeng, which made Liu Che suspect that Jiufeng was also one of the rebellious generals.
Moreover, Jiufeng was not the first general of the Southern Barbarians to rebel. There was also Rongdi before!
It is precisely because of this that Liu Che will strengthen his defense against the Nanman in the future, and Chen Pingping will finally let the Nanman army join in the operation to support Liu Che!
All the Nanman generals were already on guard, not to mention Jiu Feng's biological brother Jiu Chong. Xu Shiji had been secretly wary of him.
But Jiu Chong is not a good-tempered person. The Shu army has obviously begun to guard against him. They are guarding against him and guarding against him. Although it is impossible for the Floating Water House to agree to Jiu Chong's lion. Open your mouth, but it’s impossible to give up on this goal!
In the end, during a conflict between Jiuchong and the Shu army, Jiuchong got angry and finally made the decision to join the Jin army.
Although after calming down, he could not help but regret a little, but when Zhuge Liang flooded the three armies, it was obvious that the advantage was already with the Jin army. Even though Jiu Chong had a little regret in his heart, he decisively launched an attack on the coalition forces at this time. Backstab!
