The Greeks then used their smaller, more maneuverable ships to ram and sink the Persian vessels, dealing a crushing defeat to Xerxes army. This defeat caused Xerxes to lose his will to fight, and he returned to Persia with the bulk of his army only leaving behind 70,000 in a hopeless last effort to defeat the Greeks. This Persian army of 70,000 would later be crushed at the Battle of Plataea, the final battle of the Persian wars.
