Dai Viet: Hồ Nguyên Trừng is getting less and less supporters as many followed him has turned to Lê Lợi, saying that the Ho dynasty is not legitimate.

Marching from Thang Long to Thanh Hoa is not difficult at all with the flat and delta terrain. The Ho's send a number of troops on the way to defend
