About the battle
The Battle of Như Nguyệt River, also called the Battle of the Cầu River, took place during the final phase of the Song–Vietnamese Border War (1075–1077). The battle occurred along parts of the Cầu River that flows through what later became Bắc Ninh Province of Hanoi in February 1077. At the battle, the Vietnamese led by admiral-general Lý Thường Kiệt stopped the Chinese attempt to cross the river but failed to dislodge them from their position, resulting in a stalemate at the river before the Song retreated due to mounting casualties. The war ended with a peace negotiation.
