Krishnasura (Sanskrit: कृष्णासुर) is an asura king from the Vadic scriptures of Hinduism. The Rig Veda and Sam Veda describe Krishnasur as an asura king who lived in the banks of river Anshumati. He was defeated by Indra.

Misunderstanding
Sometimes the Krishna is considered Krishnasur but this is completely incompatible. Krishna was king of Dwarka, and Krishnasur was an elusive Asura king who had fought with Indra. Also, Krishna had no army of 10 thousand soldier at that time.
