Jaya Indravarman dispatches a trading expedition to acquire horses in China’s Kwangtung and Henan provinces for use in the next full-scale assault, but the expedition fails to obtain the animals.
Lacking sufficient horses, the Chams attack by sea in 1177, sailing up the Tonle Sap (the “Great Lake“ in the region of present central Cambodia) and the Siemreab river to capture the undefended capital, Yasodharapura (Angkor).
The Chams burn the city’s wooden structures, kill the Khmer rebel king Tribhuvanadityavarman, and loot Angkor Wat, the greatest of Angkor's temple complexes.
