Bhagavad Gita 1-11

ayanEShu cha sarvEShu yathabhagamavasthitaH

bhiShmamEvaabhirakShaMtu bhavantaH sarva Eva hi ||11||

"So everybody should be situated in their respective positions and protect Bhishma from all the sides."

CIC plays a major role in any war. He plans the strategies and implements those plans and his presence in the middle will boost the confidence of all the soldiers. If he is injured then it is a major drawback to any army. So what Duryodhana said is correct by military strategy. But it may also mean that Bhishma is already old and weak and it is the responsibility of Dronacharya to protect him. He again appraises the importance of Dronacharya and satisfies his ego.
