Ramayya Senapati and Narasimha Naik set their next target to the city of Surendra Nagar. But this time, they were not in a hurry; the plan was to slowly whittle down the strength of the city defence corps in Surendra Nagar. The reason for this strategy being used was because of the conclusion reached by Vijay and Kiran Poojari. According to the decision of both of them, the battle would transition from a fast-moving Blitzkrieg to a battle of attrition mainly in order to reduce casualties. Kiran Poojari and Vijay came to this conclusion after understanding that if the casualties are not reduced, the troops may not be enough to launch the next attack.
