Why the Mongols Lost to Vietnam (They Didn't Expect This)追加:

Three times Vietnam destroyed them. The third invasion in 1287 sent a Mongol fleet up the Bach Dang River.
General Tran Hung Dao was waiting. He had ordered iron-tipped wooden stakes driven into the riverbed at low tide, hidden under the water at high tide.
The Mongol fleet sailed in at high tide.
