Chapter 596: Fall of Zangana Family 1

16th June 1659

Baghdad, Safavid Empire

The military camp in Baghdad is located right in the ruins of the Baghdad fortress. After the fortress was breached in order to defeat the general from the Zangana family, it was immediately rebuilt and reused since it is located at a higher elevation, giving it some strategic advantage and more importantly, it is in a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The only reason why the Atashban family was able to breach this fortress which inherently had a strategic advantage in the first place was because of the continuous bombardment of high-caliber cannons for weeks on end and the inexperience of the Zangana soldiers.
