 The Dai Viet annals report that the evacuation was "in an orderly manner;" however this is viewed as a embellishment because the Dai Viet must have retreated in disarray to leave their weapons behind in the capital.The emperor of Đại Việt fled to an offshore island, and the Mongols occupied the capital city Thăng Long (modern-day Hanoi).They found their envoys in prison, however one of whom died.
