Ly Dynasty Vietnam Repels Champa Incursion
1081
Champa raiders struck northward into Dai Viet territory, testing the young dynasty's southern defenses. The Vietnamese response was swift and decisive: Ly generals pushed the Cham forces back across the frontier and launched punitive raids that reminded Champa's kings of the military lessons taught at Nhu Nguyet. Vietnam was fighting on two fronts - Song China to the north, Champa to the south - and holding both.
