Colonel Montecuccoli stood on the city wall, scribbling with a silver needle attached to a wooden stick on a palm-sized personal notebook;
occasionally extending his arm, raising his fingers, squinting to estimate the distance of various landmark buildings in the suburbs.
The Old Arrow Tower where he stood was the highest point on the west bank of the River Shijian. Overlooking from the tower, the scenes on both sides of the city wall were fully visible.
From the city wall to the east, in order from near to far, were the New Town, the River Shijian, and the Old Town.
The former Paratu Army Headquarters—now the office of the Military Commissioner of the Paratu Army—was just north of the New Town.
The beautiful stone-built two-story building stood out among the low residential houses on the west bank.
