War Day 13: Drone as Commander-in-Chief-Day-3
13th day of War - The 3rd day under the leadership of Drone,
Abhimanyu Vadh

According to "Mahabharata Serial" on TV

Arjun said to Krishn at night - "If tomorrow Susharmaa again challenges me then I will have to follow him." Duryodhan admired Susharmaa very much and said - "Tomorrow you will not fight with Arjun, you will just take him so far away from the battlefield that he cannot come back here till evening." Susharmaa asked, "Why to do this?" Duryodhan said - "Because then nobody will be in Paandav's army to break Drone's Chakra Vyooh. and we will arrest Yudhishthir." Susharmaa said - "But this is cheating. I owe one obligation to Yudhishthir. He gave me my life back in Viraat war, therefore you promise me that after arresting him you will free him."

Once Duryodhan got confused, but then said carefully - "Yes, I promise you that I will free him after arresting him." Susharmaa said - "Then I will also take Arjun so far that he will not be able to come back before evening." Thus Duryodhan made Susharmaa agree with him by cheating. In this war nobody is coward, neither Duryodhan nor Yudhishthir, but Duryodhan gave high place to cheating. When Dushaasan asked as why did he make false promise to Susharmaa, Duryodhan said - "Because Arjun will not leave him alive."

Duryodhan went to Bheeshm and said - "Tomorrow the war will be over." Bheeshm said - "Do you know that both Vaasudev and Arjun can break the Chakra Vyooh." Duryodhan said - "I know it, that is why both will not be even close to this Vyooh. Then we will arrest Yudhishthir and the war will be over."

In the meantime a soldier was seen going in the camp of Yudhishthir, so the soldiers brought him to Drone. On asking that why was he going there, he told that he was going with the information of Chakra Vyooh . This was a critical information for Paandav. Luckily people noticed that man going to Paandav's camp thus Kaurav's trick did not remain a secret so Drone ordered him to be kept under strict vigilance.

But later the man who was caught taking information of Chakra Vyooh to Paandav, somehow escaped and was hurt in the middle of the battlefield. Yudhishthir came to see him. While dying he told him that Drone had planned for Chakra Vyooh for today. Yudhishthir got very worried because Arjun was nowhere to be seen, and Vaasudev was along with him only. As everybody knew that nobody else could break this Chakra Vyooh except Vaasudev and Arjun, Yudhishthir got worried.

Abhimanyu was hearing this, he said - "Great uncle, I will go there. I know how to enter it but I do not know how to come out of that." Yudhishthir never wanted to take chance with Abhimanyu. But then seeing no alternative, everybody decided that they all would stay just behind him. As soon as he would enter the Vyooh, they would also enter the Vyooh along with him, and then they could backup him. Whichever gate he would open they would not let it close and enter it. So after explaining their plan to everybody, Yudhishthir proceeded towards the Vyooh led by Abhimanyu and followed by his brothers - Bheem, Nakul and Sahadev, but could not enter as Jayadrath checked them there at the first gate only.
