Stabbing upwards to the chin...........
where the gladius finds the Menpo skewering away its tip...
stabbing down to the feet... where the gladius meets the Iron clad top of the japanese shoe... and on the shins the suneate......
all this happening while the bare arms of the legionary are cut away/off by either katana, wakizashi, or he even gets killed by a well placed stab of the tanto underneath the legionaries helmet, only protected by a simple wooden cloth.....
a stab or slash in the groin area, only protected by a cingvlvm..... while the samurai is protected by his haedate and the lower part of the do......
getting rid of the legionary shield is a piece of cake for the samurai, since his battle tactics consist of moving around very fast....... not being hampered by a heavy shield at all...... also stabs or blows on his kote fence off the blunt of the attack........... time enough to slash underneath the legionaries shield... especially when using the musashi technique of the short and long sword combined.... and mind you... musashi was beaten only once by a man wielding a Jo.....(wooden staff)
Tarbicivs, how much you like and reveer the legionary, he probably would not have lasted that long..
