War broke out between Kauravas and Pandavas. On the first day itself Abhimanyu entered into a duel with Brhatbala (King of Kosala). In the terrible conflict with Bhishma, Abhimanyu broke Bhishma's flagstaff. After that he assisted his father Arjuna in the fight against Bhishma. Verses 8-13 of Chapter 55 of Bhishma Parva of the Mahabharata describe Abhimanyu's fight with Lakshmana in the second day's battle. Then he took his place in the Ardha Chandra Vyuha formed by Arjuna. He fought fiercely with the Gandharas. He attacked Shalya and killed Jayatsena (King of Magadha) along with his elephant. We find Abhimanyu assisting Bhimasena in Mahabharata Bhishma Parva Chapters 63, 64, 69 and 94. After that abhimanyu defeated Lakshmana in battle. Then he defeated Vikarna, Chitrasena and others also. Later, he took his position in the Shrngataka Vyuha created by Dhrshtadyumna. He started fighting with Bhagadatta. He defeated Ambastha and Alambusha. Next he fought a duel with Sudishna. After that, he encountered Duryodhana, Brhatbala and others. Mahabharata Drona Parva, Chapter 10, Verses 47-52 are a description of Abhimanyu's heroism by Dhrtarashtra. He snatched Paurava's weapon and threw it on the ground. Next he fought with Jayadratha and Shalya. Then he was caught in the Chakravyuha of the enemies. There he inflicted great losses upon the enemy forces. Shalya was stunned and his brother was killed by Abhimanyu. Mahabharata Drona Parva Chapter 38 Verses 23 and 24 describe the flight of the Kauravas in fear. At that stage, even Dronacharya praised Abhimanyu's valour. Dushshasana fainted during his fight with Abhimanyu. Karna was defeated. Vrshasena, Satyashravas and Shalya's son Rugmaratha were slain. Duryodhana fled. Lakshmana was killed. Vrndaraka, Ashvatthama, Karna and others were amazed by this terrible valour of Abhimanyu. Six ministers of Karna were slain. Next Ashvaketu (son of the King of Magadha) was killed. King Bhoja was also killed. Shalya was again defeated. Shatrunjaya, Chandraketu, Meghavega, Suvarcas, Suryabhasa, who were all kings were beheaded by Abhimanyu.

अभिमन्युर्महेष्वासं बृहद्बलमयोधयत् ।। ततः कोसलराजाऽसावभिमन्योर्विशांपते । ध्वजं चिच्छेद समरे सारथिं च व्यपातयत् ।।
सौभद्रस्तु ततः क्रुद्धः पातिते रथसारथौ। बृहद्बलं महाराज विव्याध नवभिः शरैः ।।
अथापराभ्यां भल्लाभ्यां शिताभ्यामरिमर्दनः । ध्वजमेकेन चिच्छेद पार्ष्णिमेकेन सारथिम् ।। अन्योन्यं च शरैः क्रुद्धौ ततक्षाते परस्परम् ।
