章 742: Chapter 442: Capturing Ziyang City_1

After receiving Lu Chen's second letter, General Du Yongyuan did not immediately choose to surrender.

However, in the following days, the army of North Country did not launch an attack, and the soldiers of Ziyang City were all on edge.

Most of the soldiers understood that the main reason the North Country soldiers hadn't attacked after the city walls had collapsed was because the Prince of the North was persuading their General to surrender.

The soldiers were overwhelmed with panic. Having seen their comrades from Great Xia blown to pieces by artillery, they had long since lost the will to fight. They now only wanted to surrender, but the court would never allow it. If they did surrender, their families might suffer.

Of course, whether to surrender was not up to these low-ranking soldiers; the key lay in the intentions of their General and the deputy generals.

Several days later, General Du Yongyuan summoned his trusted deputy, Gao Yong, to his study.
