Karna defeats the Pandavas other than Arjuna

In the battlefield, Shalya said to Karna - See the Pandava army. There are Arjuna and Bhima. Do you think you can defeat them?
Angry Karna started shooting arrows at the army. A son of Karna entered the field and was killed by Bhima, who then attacked Kripa and cut off his bow. He then attacked Dushsasana and wounded him. He then attacked Shakuni and Uluka wounding them.
Seeing his son dead and also remembering defeat in the hands of Arjuna, Karna decided to kill Yudhistira. Shivering with rage, he started shooting arrows killing the Pandava army.
Karna cut off the bow of Yudhistira who took another one. Yudhistira shot an arrow which hit Karna on the right side and he fainted on his chariot.
Regaining consciousness, Karna took his bow and a divine arrow and aimed that towards Yudhistira. Pandava warriors came in support of Yudhistira. Karna wounded Yudhistira, who in rage hurled a spear which hit Karna. Karna retaliated and shot arrows which pierced Yudhistira's armor. Karna then went to him and said You are a Kshatriya. My advise to you is, do not fight anymore. Go back, if you want to live.
Saying this, Karna left.
Bhima then attacked Karna. Karna cut off Bhima's bow. Bhima then hit Karna with his mace. Karna fell on his chariot.
Ashwatthama pledged to kill Dhristadyumna. He came and attacked the army, looking for Dhristadyumna. He was confronted by Bhima.
Karna, recovering began killing the Pandava army. Yudhistira decided to go and fight again and was wounded again. Nakula and Sahadeva came to help Yudhistira. Karna cut off Nakula's chariot and horses. Nakula climbed up on Sahadeva's chariot. Shalya saw his nephews fighting Karna. He said to Karna - You said you will fight Arjuna. Forgetting that you fought with Yudhistira.
Hearing this Karna decided to go in search of Arjuna.

Yudhistira was taken away to the camp by Nakula and Sahadeva.

Karna began using all the weapons, the skills of which he had learnt from Parashurama. All the while he was calling out to Arjuna, asking for a fight.

Krishna said to Arjuna - Karna is destroying the army. I see Bhima fighting. I do not see Yudhistira anywhere.

Arjuna said - Take the chariot towards Karna. Let me see if I can spot Yudhistira.

Krishna started moving the chariot in the direction of Karna when Ashwatthama came and blocked their way. Arjuna won over the son of Drona and then seeing Bhima, asked him about Yudhistira. Bhima said Yudhistira had gone back to the camp as he was hurt.

Arjuna said You go and take care of Yudhistira and I will take care of the battle. Bhima said he would stay and fight.
Hearing this, Arjuna went towards the camp to see Yudhistira.
