As a result of the massive surrender of the Cham soldiers, some of the generals who had the heart to hold on soon ran out of manpower to command.

So in desperation, these generals also began to surrender one after another.

This atmosphere soon spread to the entire Cham army.

"General, many brothers have already surrendered, and we can't defeat the Tang Army at all, so let's just surrender together."

"Lin Shangshu will take someone to bury His Majesty, and he will rush back soon, I just need to hold on for a while, and I will be able to wait for reinforcements soon."

"General, you don't think those people will come back after they leave the city, do you? They must have already taken the opportunity to escape. ”

"How is that possible? This is the capital of my Cham, where can they go if they don't return here? ”

"General, don't be stupid, don't you see that all the people who were transferred when they left were veterans?

Leaving me to wait is just to delay the Tang Army.

As for whether this is the capital or not, what is the point for those people?

As long as they save their lives, won't they be able to come back at any time? ”

"Huh? This..."

"General, don't hesitate any longer, haven't you seen that so many brothers in front of you have been taken away by the Tang Army?"

In a small courtyard, at least twenty Cham soldiers gathered.

Since they were at the back of the line, they were safe for a while.

At this time, after carefully observing the movement outside, several soldiers immediately began to persuade the general who took the lead.

The general was also a novice, so his thinking was still relatively simple.

At first, he was a little hesitant, but after listening to his subordinates' analysis, he was immediately stunned.

After a while, he finally understood the details of this, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, Lao Tzu was almost sold by these bastards."

Brothers, hurry up and surrender to the Tang army with me, saving your life in vain. ”

After he finished speaking, several of his subordinates quickly glanced at each other, and then immediately threw away the weapons in their hands.

Several of them had already made a secret decision just now, as long as the general did not agree to surrender, they would immediately kill him.

At this time, the general had no idea that he had just walked away from the ghost gate.

When he saw that his brothers had all thrown down their weapons, he immediately shouted and went out and surrendered.

The luck of this general is rare in the Cham army.

Many recalcitrant Cham generals were killed by the Cham soldiers because they refused to surrender.

For ordinary Cham soldiers, they only asked themselves to live.

As for whether to work for the Champa royal family or to serve as a slave for the Tang Dynasty, in their opinion, the difference is not very big.

With the development of maritime trade, the legend of the Tang Dynasty continued to spread to the Cham Po.

Among them, the people of Datang can eat two meals a day, which is a life that they envy very much.

After all, even if they are soldiers in Cham, they can't guarantee two meals a day.

You read that right, even the Tang Dynasty was just beginning to implement three meals a day in wealthy areas.

It is already a very rare treatment for neighboring countries to be able to eat two meals a day.

Zhang Lei would never have imagined at this time that if he shouted on the streets of Zhancheng: provide three meals a day to recruit slaves.

It is likely that the entire people of Zhancheng will be able to rush back to Datang with him immediately.

However, it doesn't matter if Zhang Lei uses this trick at this time.

Because as more and more people surrendered, there was no longer any threatening resistance in the city.

The warriors of the Sailor Division soon advanced to the Cham palace from all directions and easily occupied it.

"Damn..."Zhang Lei couldn't help but curse after reading the news summarized by his subordinates.

To be honest, Fan Damour and Li Xiang, Lin Feng and the others really didn't loot the materials in the city when they left the city.

One is that they simply don't have the time, and the other is that they don't dare to do that.

You know, they're counting on the rest of the city to fight hard.

If he looted the city before leaving, wouldn't it directly cut off the chance for himself and others to escape?

But even if these people only took away a lot of treasure and some food, in Zhang Lei's opinion, the rest is too little.

Originally, most of the people of Cham only ate one meal a day, so the food was relatively rich.

After the Cham court rebelled, there were suddenly 40,000 or 50,000 more people who had to eat twice a day.

So within a few days, the food became a little tight.

Under such circumstances, Champa would have to buy a lot of food from other places every day to replenish it.

At present, the total population of the city, including the 20,000 people of the Tang Dynasty, is probably less than 200,000.

And the grain stored in the city is enough for these 200,000 people to eat one meal a day for thirteen or fourteen days.

This bit of food is basically the same as nothing in the eyes of Zhang Lei, the Governor of the Navy, who arranges for the soldiers to eat six meals every day.

Cheng Chumo took the summarized information and looked at it and said, "General, if it doesn't work, let's send someone back to bring some supplies." ”

Zhang Lei looked at Cheng Chumo a little speechless and said: "It will take at least ten days from Zhancheng to Guangzhou City.

Even if people go to various state capitals along the way to collect food, it is not something that can be completed in three or two days.

The most hateful thing is that the food left in the city is just enough for us to bring all the people who occupy the city back to the Tang Dynasty.

So how can my brothers be good? ”

This also reflects the haste in which countries prepared for this war.

Zhang Lei and the others never thought that the food of Cham was so scarce, so they did not bring too many supplies.

However, Cham and other countries did not expect to suddenly start a war with the Tang Dynasty, so they did not prepare enough grain and grass.

Cheng Chu pondered for a moment and said, "Dudu, if you really can't do it, let the brothers go around and loot."

It is much better to starve a few Chams than to starve your own brothers. ”

Zhang Lei smiled bitterly: "There aren't even many carriages in the entire Champa city, do you want to let the brothers walk to rob?" ”

There are not many carriages in the city, in fact, it is related to the evacuation of Li Xiang and others.

Not only were they to bring some food, but they were also to bring with them most of their family's treasures, gold and silver.

Therefore, there are really a lot of horse-drawn carriages used in a hurry.

It's not that Li Xiang and others are obsessed with money, the purpose of the treasures they bring is to use the money to induce the Cham soldiers to continue to work for them.

You must know that they did not enter the mountains just to escape, but to rely on the mountains and forests to continue to resist the Tang army.

Cheng Chu silently saw that his idea was denied, so he asked: "I don't know if the governor has a good plan?" ”

Zhang Lei thought for a while and said, "First arrange for five thousand brothers to escort the captives of Zhancheng back to the Tang Dynasty."

The remaining 20,000 people were divided into 10,000 to attack the other state capitals of Champa, and the income along the way should be barely enough.

As for you and I, we will have to lead the rest of our brothers in pursuit of those who have fled.

Whether I can eat enough or not depends on whether my legs and feet are fast enough..."
