Kaurava Army
Kaurava Army
 Duryodhana requested Bhishma to command the Kaurava army. Bhishma accepted on the condition that while he will fight the battle sincerely, he will however not harm the five Pandava brothers. He also said that Karna was opposed to his leadership and perhaps Duryodhana should consider making Karna the commander.
Karna had declared that he will not fight under Bhishma and had withdrawn from the army. Duryodhana however agreed to Bhishma's conditions and made him the supreme commander of the Kaurava army. The army was divided into eleven divisions.
Apart from the one hundred Kaurava brothers, headed by Duryodhana himself and his brother Dushasana, the second son of Dhritarashtra, the Kauravas were assisted in the battlefield by Drona and his son Ashwathama, the Brahmin Kripa, the evil Shakuni, and many more who were bound by their loyalty towards either Hastinapura or Dhritarashtra.
The kingdom of Vidarbha and its King Rukmi were the only neutrals in this war
