- Battle of Bạch Đằng (981)
The Battle of Bạch Đằng (981) was an important battle in the history of Vietnam's struggle against the domination of China to their north. It took place at the Bach Dang River, near Halong Bay in northern Vietnam.
For centuries China had treated Vietnam as a province of China. In a preceding battle, the Battle of Bạch Đằng River (938), China had attacked Vietnam. The Vietnamese forces were led by Ngô Quyền. He embedded spikes in the river with iron tips that sank the enemy's boats, thus defeating China and first ending China's domination of Vietnam. [cite web

In the Battle of Bạch Đằng in 981 CE, the invasion troops of China's ruling dynasty, the Sung, attacked Đại Cồ Việt with both a navy at Bạch Đằng River's mouth and an infantry force at Chi Lang (Lạng Sơn). Lê Hoàn arranged two ambushes at these sites. The first ambush in Bạch Đằng destroyed most of the Sung navy and the second wiped out the remaining Sung army and ended the invasion.
