As a warrior, Nakula slew prominent war-heroes on the enemy side. He was the one who killed all the offspring of all the Kauravas. The flag of Nakula's chariot bore the image of a red deer with golden back.
[8] In the war against the Kauravas after the exile Nakula was the leader of one of the seven akshahuni the Pandavs had.Even though his role in the war was not as big as Bhim or Arjun he played a significant role in the battle.He along with Bhim led the Pandavas in the first day of the battle.He defeated Dushasan on the first day.He even checked the attacks of warriors like Bhishma,Drona,Karna,Duryodhan,Kritvarman and Ashwatthama.His most significant parts where in the killing of Bhishma when he along with few others breach Bhishma's inner ring which helps Arjun and Shikandhi bring Bhishma down.He also defeats his uncle Shalya in battle.He killed three of Karna's sons,Shakuni's son Uluka and also kills 180 other great Kshatriyas when he,Yudhisthira and Sahadev attach Bhishma on the ninth day of the war.His greatest battle he fights with is against Karna.He really fights valourously that day and even his unknown brother Karna is impressed.He breaks Karna's bow 4 times and wounds him very badly and that battle prolongs for an hour but Karna being a greater bowman has Nakula at his mercy in the end yet spares his life because of a promise he made to Kunti.Nakula was the one who killed all of Shakuni's men and was one of the survivor of that war.
How can Nakul be useless😡
