Even though Jiu Chong was just a junior general, he was also a qualified water general. Although he was deep in the water, when the flood began to calm down, Jiu Chong really started to have room to play.
As soon as he made a move, he swam over and killed Huang Quan and Pang Xi who were hugging a dead tree.
Although Jiu Chong could also choose to capture these two people alive, Jiu Chong had no such intention now. Now is the time to get more credit by chopping off people's heads. If these two burdens are with him, how can he find other prey and get more credit?
Therefore, from the beginning, Jiu Chong had no idea of capturing anyone alive. He relied on his water ability to swim over, and when he got close, he would stab them from behind.
After that, when Jiu Chong was choosing his next meritorious service target, he accidentally discovered Zhu Yuanzhang's traces. For a time, it can be said that greed is rampant. He actually really wanted to kill Zhu Yuanzhang and replace him with a Nanman Hou.
Although Jiu Chong's idea was somewhat overestimating his capabilities, in the end he made a mistake and got the stone camel back at the critical moment! It can be regarded as a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, which reduced the Jin army's losses.
Pei Xingjian knew that after this incident, his identity would be exposed, there was no doubt about it. As for those who followed Pei Xingjian into Yang, in the end Zhu Yuanzhang was unable to directly determine whether they were spies of the Jin army just like Pei Xingjian. But next, Zhu Yuanzhang's testing and Jin Yiwei's various investigations are absolutely indispensable.
People like Shituo, if there are no other people around to help them, it is impossible to escape Zhu Yuanzhang's temptation and Jin Yiwei's investigation.
Therefore, their identities may not be kept secret for long. Therefore, the order for Shi Tuo and others was to take advantage of this chaos and directly return to the Jin army like Pei Xingjian.
Even if they did not lurk until the end, with their fearful and dark career in the enemy camp for so many years, plus the contributions they have made overt and covert over the years, it is absolutely impossible for them to return to the Jin army. I have treated these meritorious people badly.
Shi Tong didn't have any extra thoughts at first. He climbed onto a warship in the chaos, originally planning to find an opportunity to leave. But just as he was about to leave, Zhu Yuanzhang, escorted by Lu Ya, also climbed onto the warship.
Although there are also many fierce generals in the Yangzhou army, in this chaotic situation, who knows where they are, and maybe some of them are already buried in the belly of the fish!
Although people in the south have to be familiar with water properties, if a wave hits you and knocks you out, no matter how good your water skills are, it will be in vain.
And the only one who followed Zhu Yuanzhang was Lu Ya, the last one!
Lu Ya also has a great reputation in the world. After all, he was also an indispensable figure in Xiang Yu's last battle.
However, this prestigious reputation is actually not good. After all, in the hearts of more than 90% of the generals in the world, they still despise the behavior of firing cold arrows or concealing weapons.
Most of the fierce generals still have some heroic spirit, and instinctively reject those underhanded methods.
Therefore, most of Lu Ya's illustrious "prestige" comes from the hidden weapons in his hands.
And once these archers or those who are good at hidden weapons are dragged into close combat, their strength will be greatly reduced!
Therefore, although there was Lu Ya beside Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, Shituo still had the idea of giving it a try and turning his bicycle into a motorcycle.
There is no need to actually fight Lu Ya. He just needs to sneak up to Zhu Yuanzhang as usual and ask the two sides to close the distance to within three steps. With Zhu Yuanzhang's strength, Shituo can definitely kill him. of certainty.
However, Lu Ya was too sensitive to murderous intent. Moreover, Shi Tuo himself showed some flaws due to some excitement or nervousness. Therefore, this also allowed Lu Ya to take precautions in advance, so that Shi Tiao's attack on Zhu Yuanzhang failed in the end.
But even at this time, Shituo still did not give up the idea of killing Zhu Yuanzhang. He still instinctively believed that Lu Ya's real combat ability would never be as high as his hidden weapon level, so he might not have no chance.
Shi Tuo did have a good idea. There was indeed such a gap between Lu Ya and his hidden weapons in close combat. However, even so, he was still not comparable to Shi Tuo, who was a junior god-level warrior.
Thanks to Jiu Chong who was secretly hiding in the dark and looking for opportunities. Jiu Chong originally wanted to shoot a secret arrow, but who would have expected it? Even during the fight with Shi Tuo, Lu Ya still had enough energy to send out a flying knife, blocking Jiu Chong's hidden arrow.
At this time, Shi Tuo was already shocked by the strength gap between him and Lu Ya. From the observation just now, Jiu Chong felt that he was no match for this terrifying figure.
When Shituo attacked Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, even if Jiu Chong's reaction was slow, he would naturally realize that this guy was definitely a member of the Jin army just like him.
Therefore, after helping Shi Tuo block Lu Ya's attack, he pulled Shi Tuo and jumped directly into the water.
And Jiu Chong definitely has all his skills in terms of saving his life and escaping. In the original work, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Erlang Shen's group of people were included, but the Nine-Headed Insect was bitten by Erlang Shen's dog. After a head, he still ran out.
Although those people did not pursue him, being able to escape in the hands of so many people is enough to show his ability in this regard.
Therefore, although after Jiuchong pulled the stone camel and jumped into the water, Lu Ya made a prompt decision and used Lu Xian's flying knife to press the bottom of the box, but Jiuchong still ran out after paying some price.
After Jiu Chong and Shi Tuo jumped into the water, it was difficult for Lu Ya to pursue them at this time. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang now has the only general beside him. If he ran to chase these two people, Zhu Yuanzhang's safety could not be guaranteed. If another general of the Jin army was singled out at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang might really be in trouble.
Secondly, I don’t know if it’s because Lu Ya was born in the fire element in his previous life and was cultivated from the essence of Li Fire. As a typical southerner, although he can swim, he still instinctively hates entering the water!
