Vietnam: Ngo Quyen, victor of the First Battle of the Bach Dang River, commanding his forces (938 CE)

At the Battle of B?ch Ð?ng River in 938 the Vietnamese forces, led by Ngô Quy?n, defeated the invading forces of the Southern Han state of China and put an end to centuries of Chinese imperial domination in Vietnam. It took place at the Bach Dang River, near Halong Bay in northern Vietnam. This victory ended China's long domination of Vietnam and began a period of Vietnam's independence until the conquest by Ming China. Ngô Quy?n's tactic would later be copied by Tr?n Hung Ð?o in a battle at B?ch Ð?ng River against the Mongols in 1288.
