I am listing the rules of war in mahabharata times.
Most warriors fought from chariots.A warrior on chariot can fight with a warrior on elephant or a warrior on ground who is armed.
A warrior on chariot can kill a warrior on chariot who is unarmed if he doesn't turn back or flee or surrender.
Any number of warriors can attack a warrior on a chariot provided the warrior knows how many are attacking him.This could be 180 degrees.There is no such rule that only one warrior should attack another warrior.
A warrior should not be attacked from behind.
A warrior on chariot should not attack a warrior on ground who is unarmed.
A warior on ground can kill a warrior on ground who is unarmed who is defeated by him.This is how bhima killed Dushasana.
A warrior on chariot can attack a warior on ground who is armed.
Although elephants,horses were rare.These rules apply for those warriors also.
So we know that karna's killing is unrighteous.
