Bhishma had been protecting all 100 kauravas for the last 10 days, from all dangers and especially from Bheem. But now bheem had a clear field. With Bhishma unable to continue, Karna entered the battlefield, much to Duryodhan's joy. He made Drona the supreme commander of the Kaurava forces. Karna and Duryodhan wanted to capture Yudishthir alive. Killing Yudishthir in battle would only enrage the Pandavas more, whereas holding him as hostage would be strategically useful. Drona formulated his battle plans for the eleventh day to this aim. He cut down Yudishthir's bow and the Pandava army feared that their leader would be taken prisoner. Arjun rushed to the scene, however and with a flood of arrows made Drona retreat.
