While Le Loi and General Nguyen Trai besieged Dongdo (later Hanoi) to end Chinese overlordship, a claimed 100,000 Ming reinforcements under Liu Sheng were ambushed and routed to the northwest near Lang Son at Chi Lang Pass, with up to 70,000 lost. When China then abandoned Dongdo and withdrew from Vietnam, Le Loi founded the 350-year Le Dynasty.
