Have to note that the Samurais ever resisted the Mogol invasion twice, under the lead of the Hojo clan. Although the timely storm played important roles of damaging the Mongols+Chinese+Korean allied ships that draw the allied to retreat, but has to admit that the Samurais did able to push the allied army off shore for several months, untill the "Kamikaze" storm came in help.

The Samurais are famous for their fighting spirits and high moral, apart from their swordsmanship, just like the Viking. This trait has been deeply imbued into the soul of the Japanese army that they fight endlessly for the honor of their lord, in medieval time, their Daimyo and in modern their Emperor. Just remember how the Kamikaze pilot crash their plane into their enemy aircraft carrier to inflict damages.

So who saids the knights are superior than the Samurais?

Before we go any further, tell me what tactics and equipment were used by the "knights" against the Mongols?

And don't tell me to look it up. I know it. I am asking you to do it.
