Naturally we shall fortify Kanpur. Cannon shall be put up on the walls of the city, and where cannon-balls had blasted apart the wall, it shall be patched up. We udnerstand that we cannot so quickly replace the stone structures that defended the wall, but wooden blockades can be quickly erected.
We shall prepare our men to rush out from the city gates. We do not wish to bring further war to the people of Kanpur, and as such shall attempt to bring the battle to the field. We shall cut down the enemy, and pursue to Agra.

Our armed force shall organise and progress towards Agra. As resistance is reportedly 'scattered' we shall attempt to persuade them to join with us, and failing this: kill them off bit-by-bit.
