It's unknown why the Mongol didn't capitalize on their success at this point. Instead, the army hung back near their ships with some reports indicating that many of the ship captains were concerned about a larger Japanese force showing up. Others speculate low supplies or the death of the senior commander having an impact on the campaign. Ultimately, the Mongols decided to retreat back north to Korea under the blanket of night. This proved to be unwise as they encountered severe storms which reportedly sunk 200 ships with 13,500 men l
The first invasion took place in 1274 with about 900 ships setting sail from South Korea. The island of Tsushima was the first location of the conflict thanks to its location to Japan.
