Ending his ten-year war against Chinese overlordship of Vietnam, Le Loi and General Nguyen Trai besieged Dongdo (later Thang Long and Hanoi), reinforced by Ming troops under Wang Tong. Defeated at nearby Totdong, and with reinforcements destroyed at Chi Lang, Wang Tong abandoned the city and China withdrew from Vietnam for the next 350 years.
