This did not create a branch from 13. This created a branch named "13"
from the branch you were on, which was most likely master. That is why
your "git review" is not working as you expect, because you are telling
it that you did the work against "13" but it really was against master.

git checkout -b 13 origin/13

Would create a local branch "13" which is from the remote branch "13".
You'll need to do this, or do your "git review" against master and then
cherry pick from inside Gerrit to the appropriate branches.
