If I had time I would paint it for you. Can you imagine a Chess Board?
If the city is on D4 and you come from D2, you can split to C3,D3 and E3. You can walk around the city if you keep the distance, until you reach D6. From there, you can also split to D5, E5 and E5, so you more or less surround the city. You can easily also occupie the remaining two tiles adjected to the city.
so a ZoC makes only sense if it would prohibit that units can walk so close to the city. For example, if there are machine guns that cause suppressive fire. But not a Moat (it's just too small, especialy if you think of a castle moat.)
But if you have ZoC I would think that you could only enter D3 and not C3 or E3.
