In the morning, Japanese were stunned to see their enemies condition just a few left, all the ships were broken. Japanese were very happy about this miracle.
After 7 years the Kublai Khan again sent his army to conquer Japan with even more ships and soldiers. This time when Japanese come to know that thousands of ships are to attack Japan, they were sure about their defeat. They fought well in the day time and kept the attacker out of Japan. At night they started praying and were terrified. Surprisingly a wind again blown and destroyed the forces of Kublai Khan.
