Tran Hung Dao (1228–1300; Quoc Ngu: Trần Hưng Đạo) was the Supreme Commander of Đại Việt during the Trần Dynasty. He commanded the Đại Việt armies that repelled two major Mongol invasions in the 13th century.<br/><br/>At the Battle of the Bạch Đằng River, General Trần Hưng Đạo predicted the Mongol's naval route and quickly deployed heavy unconventional traps of steel-tipped wooden stakes unseen during high tides along the Bạch Đằng River bed. When the Mongol fleet attempted to retreat from the river, the Viet deployed smaller and more maneuverable vessels into agitating and luring the Mongol vessels into the riverside where the booby traps were waiting while it was still high tide.<br/><br/>As the river tide River receded, the Mongol vessels were impaled and sunk by the embedded steel-tipped stakes. The Viet forces led by Trần Hưng Đạo burned down an estimated 400 large Mongol vessels and captured the remaining naval crew along the river. The entire Mongol fleet was destroyed and the Mongol admiral was captured and executed.
Den Kiep Bac is dedicated to Tran Hung Dao (1228–1300), the general whose forces defeated two major Mongol invasions in the 13th century.<br/><br/> In 1284 the Yuan emperor Kublai Khan demanded his forces be allowed to cross Vietnamese territory to attack the Kingdom of Champa to the south. When King Tran Nhan Tong refused, 500,000 Mongol troops led by Prince Toghan attacked and seized the capital, Thang Long. The resistance was led by General Tran Hung Dao, who issued his famous Hich Tuong Si or ‘Proclamation to the Officers’, a clarion call for action still considered a classic of Vietnamese literature.
