Bhagavad Gita 1-9

anyEca bahavaha shooraamadarthE tyakta jeevitaaha

naanaa shastra praharaNaaha sarvE yudha vishaaradaaha || 9||

There are many other courageous heroes on our side who are capable of attacking with various weapons, skilled in the art of war and are ready to sacrifice their lives for my sake.

Duryodhana mentions only seven great warriors on his side where as twenty of them on the Pandavas side. He mentions neither himself nor Dushyasana in the list which is surprising. Others he knew were on his side, would not leave him, were ready to die for him and they did not really need mentioning by name.
