surrender and give up

Hello,
If a town/army/etc surrenders, the people accept someone else's authority. They put themselves under someone's authority.
If the people in this town,soldiers stop fighting or resisting, can we then say: "After two weeks of fighting, the town finally gave up."?
Surrender is probably more often used in such contexts, but what about "give up"?

Thank you
