You might as well give up now Elgb; you won't win. You're applying a healthy dose of generous assumptions with regards to how the crossbow will be utilized in the fight. Leo isn't. You also have a lot of filler in your rebuttal (I don't see how the yabusame predating the katana is relevant at all, nor do I see how it supports your argument). Leo goes so far as to concede that, generally, a bow would be preferable to a crossbow on horseback, but that in this case it's not so. He is talking specifically about this encounter, while your argument is veering dangerously close to tangential nonsequiturs and generalizations.
