A quick google of the subject will show that your question didnot include what you really wanted to ask.
The facts are that the Persian King returned home (after a losing sea battle) with most of his troops and left "some" (a large number to be sure) behind to deal with Greeks,
THESE are the troops who were decisively beaten.
With that in mind I don't think there was a "wrong" answer to your question
