Vijaya

The retreat was halted, for a time, by Chế Bồng Nga, who ruled from Vijaya between 1360 and 1390 and carried the war north. His forces sacked the Vietnamese capital Thăng Long in 1371; when the Vietnamese king Trần Duệ Tông marched on Vijaya in 1377 he was killed before its walls, and the Chams sacked Thăng Long again. The raids ended only in 1390, when Chế Bồng Nga was killed on his royal barge by a volley of Vietnamese firearms.

Vijaya outlasted him by eighty years. A Vietnamese siege in 1403 broke up when the besiegers ran out of food, but in 1471 Lê Thánh Tông came south with a great army and cannon and took the city after four days. King Trà Toàn was carried off a prisoner, more than 30,000 Chams were captured and tens of thousands killed, and Đại Việt moved its border down to the hills south of Vijaya, leaving Champa only a few small principalities in the far south.

The later city of Qui Nhon lies here.
