Battle of Ngọc Hồi–Đống Đa
The Battle of Ngọc Hồi–Đống Đa was fought around Thăng Long (Hanoi) in early 1789, when Nguyen Hue, who had just proclaimed himself Emperor Quang Trung, launched a surprise Lunar New Year attack on a Qing army sent to restore the Later Le dynasty. The Qing forces were routed, the last Le emperor fled to China, and the Tay Son secured northern Vietnam.
