True or just acting?

[Emperor]

In the movies.Do samurai fight like in the film.The same move, skill and stamina.Because if the asians skills of fighting where excellent, why did the chinese are defeated by the mongols?In the last samurai, the new weapon defeated the samurai.But the spirit of the samurai still remains.

HEKK, even I don't how my antsisters how did they fought in battles.


Gun, haaaaaaa, what a waste of cheating in battle.I hate new weapons, because they are easy to use.I like the sword, bow and spear.But I never liked westeren weapons.Did anybody has the skill of a ninja or kung fu in this site.Because I want to learn how to be a ninja or samurai or shalion.It's silly, but good.

AFAIK Jidaigeki or movies are horrible source for historical learning.
Most of them simply does what looks "cool" and "artistic" rather than what is realistic.
The movie with the most realistic representation of Sengoku jidai warfare is the cartoon movie
"Crayon Shin-chan: Arashi wo Yobu Appare! Sengoku Daikassen"
And no, I'm not joking.
The movie made a painstaking research into the culture and warfare of Sengoku jidai with the latest studies and it has the most realistic depiction of Sengoku jidai warfare.
No Samurais wielding Katanas in battlefield, No cavalry units charging into pikemen.
Many people says it's the most realistic movie about Sengoku jidai in history of filming.

Emperor, the Samurai were trained in close hand-to-hand combat. That's why they defeated the Mongols in 1274 and 1281. The beach-heads the Mongols tried to establish never materialized because of the Samurai's close-fighting skills versus an enemy that was used to peppering it's enemies with missiles on the open plains.

The Chinese relied more on armies that were raised from peasant-farmers. Their troop quality was vastly inferior when compared to Japan's. One of the many reasons for this could be China's reliance on the Great Wall, which, incidentally, fell due to a betrayal and not military action.

So, the chinese recruited peasents to wear armor.Even the untrained were thrown in battle.Japanese defeated the mongols true, but that makes that the japanese are stronger than chinese? I am confused.

Yeah, but they are sooo good for entertainment...

So there were never 2 typhoons that wiped away the invading mongol army's, that was all fantasy?

Nothing is ever that plack and white. You have to realise there are number of things influensing even a single battle never the less a hole war.
First the number of troops versus skill. State of mind versus training. Bettlefield. Situation before battle. How long has the army travelled just before battle. Taktiks and skill of the general leading the army.

Compare different battles and situations and you will understand.

Few examples. Segigahara, Custer vs indians in little big horn, Battle of thermopylae and more importantly what exactly did those 300 spartan get for dying and why they where willing to die. WW2 Finland vs Russia first in winterwar and then in WW2.

Exaples are countles. Every single battle has been influensed as much the number of troops at use as the willingles to fight and importanse of victory or los.

Not true at all. The 'kamikaze' (divine wind), combined with poor quality ships that were hastily constructed in Korea and China and low morale troops conscripted from Korea and China, had a lot more to do with it than the 'hand-to-hand' skills of the samurai. Samurai were mounted archers, and they weren't exactly going to go charging in to a force of Mongols that were many times the size of their defending force to engage in sword-fighting. If anything, it was the samurai who were used to peppering its enemies with arrows, while the Mongols took advantage of mass-infantry tactics, something that Japan's military had abandoned centuries before the invasions.

I have to agree with peopel that belive numbers dont mean everythign in battle and i agree theyrs many factors that can affect a battle right up to weather... u say weather?? what if because of luck wind is blowing twards the enemi and alows your arrows to travle that much further and alow u to have arows rainign over the enemi when the enemi cant reach u yet? and liek mentioned above .. terrain travle distance ect ect many thigns affect battles and the general that takes advantage of those littlethings.. i lift my hat to him
