CFP3157 EDGES OF MASSIVE DESTRUCTION: "The Art of F--king Common Sense"  Despite the Jian's lighter weight, it is severely outmatched here. The Norman Broadsword is made of a stronger material, has more weight to hit with more power, and is a longer, more versatile blade overall. The cross guard is also creating a parry option for the Norman Broadsword, creating the better blade offensively and defensively. The Dagger-Axe wins. Simply put, it's a far more versatile weapon, capable of hacking and thrusting, which will be key in getting through William's armor. The Dane Axe is just a normal axe, and while it's a powerful one it still falls to the Dagger-Axe. The Chu-Ko-Nu sacrifices the three key factors that other crossbows have over bows; Accuracy, Power, and Range. The Composite Crossbow can hit farther away, it's far simpler to use in combat because of the shoulder sight rather than hip-fire, and it's going to hit with far more power. While the Chu-Ko-Nu takes reload speed, it's so pitifully weak that it requires poison as a secondary way of damage in case the bolts don't go in to deep, as well as firing from the hip and having terribly small range. The Reflex Bow is a smaller bow, giving it more power, portability, and range. The Self Bow is a decent weapon, but it loses out on this one. The Catapult wins. Despite being immobile, it's far simpler to use in a battle created here. The Fire Arrows will require an incredibly accurate knowledge of the enemies' movement and actions. You need to be absolutely certain that that one target will be there when you let loose the arrow, or else it's just an arrow wasted in battle. The Magonel's simplicity is what gives it the edge. Pfft, easy edge. The Chainmail Hauberk's superior material will mean that Sun Tzu's going to have a difficult penetrating the chainmail, going to do less damage to William's head because of his helmet, and his shield is going to hold up better. Sun Tzu's shield will be clunky when used with the primarily fencing-esque Jian, and his armor will be cut up like butter by William's weapons. Sun Tzu's losing streak won't lose here. Simply put, William's going to decimate Sun Tzu's men because of his severe technological advantage in his melee weapons. Another factor is the sheer range advantage the Composite Crossbow offers, capable of sniping Sun Tzu's men with ease. Add William's superior leadership and his emphasis on tactics, William takes this battle.
