The Farmer Who Defeated the Mongol Empire | Vietnam’s Forgotten War Hero

Описание: The Mongol Empire conquered almost half the known world.

China fell.
Persia fell.
Eastern Europe burned.

But Vietnam did not.

This is the true story of Pham Ngu Lao — a farmer who became one of history’s most undefeated generals.

Born in a poor village, weaving baskets by the roadside, Pham Ngu Lao seemed destined for obscurity.

Until destiny intervened.

Recruited after surviving a spear through his leg without flinching, he rose through the ranks of the Tran Dynasty and helped stop the most powerful military force on Earth.

In 1285 and again in 1288, over half a million Mongol troops invaded Vietnam.

Hanoi fell.
The capital burned.
The empire believed victory was inevitable.

They were wrong.

Pham Ngu Lao led elite “father–son” armies through jungles, rivers, and mountain passes.

He crushed Mongol fleets at Ham Tu and Chuong Duong.
He hunted Prince Toqto’a through the rainforest.
He forced the invaders into the Bach Dang River — where iron-tipped wooden stakes and tidal traps destroyed an entire armada.

Mongol admiral Omar was captured.
The empire collapsed.
The prince escaped hidden inside a bronze tube.
