16th century Japanese warfare is superior to medieval warfare

Thank you for your reply Ninja No matter what you say ninja had a strict moral code and would never work for enemy soldiers(. http://www.pvv.ntnu.no...) Wikipedia is the most unreliable source there is. Ninja were shadow tactitions and swore fealty to daimyo not paid to work for them. A lot of ninja work on the battlefield as well these are called senshi ninja. Ninja didn't work for china or korea these were the Chinese assassins known as wushkanda and the Koreans used Daylaka from Mongolia Ikkï¿½ƒï¿½'ï¿½‚ï¿½ï¿½j ikki The farmers hired ronin not samurai saying the two are the same is like saying a common guard is the same as a knight of the realm. What evidence do you put forth to say it wasn't settled diplomaticly. Unrest in Europe You say name them here Pilgramige of grace Tudor conquest of Ireland The uprising of cahi The revolt of 1173 The revolt of Germany 1224-1335 Interregnum Three major losses led do the decline of centuries of european building first demographic collapse, political instability and religious upheavals Samurai vs knight The chinks were at least two inches ath the joints and neck and the chain mail wouldn't stop a katana let alone any weapon. And while that were trained to defend these chinks the samrai were trained to expose and exploit these weaknesses giving the samurai an advantage over the knight. The reason the two kicks wouldn't knock down a samurai is because it uses the weight of the offender against the spinning motion and the pivot to bring the together and support them using the opponents offset and power to send him flying through the air. The samurai could bring himself behind the shield and use his advanced close quarters combat to kill his enemy. Even though the knights trains hours on end the armour would still be heavy and make them tire faster than samurai as there is a limit to strength only because knights didn't have the mindset or access of ki as samurai do. Longbow men Law required they did the training no participate in fighting and most used the lighter easier recurve bow. The stakes would work if the ikki ikko didn't use centerpied formation and Japan could use senshi ninja to take the stake out without being noticed and could kill many people after it. Navy By the time the greek fire was loaded and ready to go your ships would already be sunk due to the range and speed of the front mounted and side mounted rotary cannons Calvary And the knights had many ways to defeat warriors on foot. That is not a rebuttal that's a statement. Knights on horses were easy targets due to the restrictive armour and slowness of the high mounted attack which left them widely exposed. Heavy armour Yes the knights had no ground training because in battle if you fell you didn't have time to get up in the restrictive armour and you were dead. The European martial arts was mostly useless swinging and boxing the opponent untill someone had enough of getting knocked around army size As I said before only half were fighters and European armies travelled in small seperate groups to be faster. Weapon and armour The blade would snap if you know what your doing. In order to create balance European sword smiths thinned the middle and made the tip heavy. That puts a lot of stress on th lower blade close to the handle and any bending of the sword would result in a snap. Training They didn't start archery until they had basic swordplay skills Allies No the ratio to the point of French people couldn't have benn 200 000 without diminishing the economy to shambles which would mean the army had to go back Movement This is not true due to the fact that it means less packing and starting. It also means they didn't need as many provisions Halberders and pikes Samurai had battle experience from the age of 14 and had many ways to combat these weapon such as swerving catching trapping and breaking with kicks all possible due to heavy head weight of the pile and halberd. If the samurai are dealing with the pikemen then your archers are exposed to all of japans forces. It is clear that you only have a one sided view of this and have not looked fr your opponents perception you should rethink your answer and predict my rebuttal before you post. I don't mean any thing by my statement jut trying to give you some advice.
