Not really - the Mongol invasions happened in two waves - both landings were repulsed with heavy losses for the Mongols despite the japanese being outnumbered.

The Mongols were rushing preparation of their navy that was constructed by their subordinates Koreans and Chinese poorly and resulted in the vessels being lost during the storm, as well as their choice of season to invade (taifoon season).

Only two armies are credited with vctories over Mongol or Mongol led medieval armies - the Japanese under the Kamakura Shogunate and the Egyptian Arabs.
