starvation during attack

Here is the scenario:
Player A is attacking a far away city. What will happen if there is no crop in A's city and A is still dispatching for an attack?

I believe troops die and remaining troops return to city, not 100% sure tho, i have never been in that situation

beatlesfan is correct. Your troops will starve, and the attack gets called back and canceled.

Thx guys for clarifying

I think if there is no crop in that area, they will not send them at all
