[6] In response, Ali Adil Shah once again reached out to Vijayanagar's ruler, Rama Raya, for help, sending envoys Kishwar Khan and Abu Turab.

[7] Rama Raya first sent his brother, Venkatadri, along with Jagadeva Rao and Bin-ool-Mulk, leading a force of 15,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry to invade the southern regions of the Qutb Shahi Sultanate.

When Qutb Shah and Hussain learned of Venkatadri’s advances and Rama Raya’s approach, they consulted each other and, deciding to abandon the siege of Kalyani, retreated to their respective capitals.

[10] During this campaign, troops from Vijayanagar were reported to have committed numerous acts of desecration and violence, such as stabling their horses in mosques, performing religious rituals inside them, and mistreating the local population.

[11] A battle broke out at the village of Connor between a detachment of the Bijapur army and the combined forces of the Nizam Shahi troops and Hussain Rustum.

This sudden flood resulted in the loss of 300 horses and a significant number of transport cattle, while at least 20 high-ranking officers and over 25,000 soldiers and personnel were swept away.

[13] The nearby Bijapur region also faced incursions from Vijayanagar, as Rama Raya, under the pretense of foraging, reportedly looted several districts belonging to his ally.

Eventually, Rama Raya agreed to pull back south after Ali Adil Shah offered Yadagiri and Bagalkot in exchange for Vijayanagar's support in the recent conflict.

Clashes between their forces continued until Hussain Nizam Shah successfully resupplied Sholapur, thwarting its capture through starvation.
