Armor
Genghis Khan's Steel Leather Lamerlla v. Attila the Hun's Leather Armor
"Genghis Khan armed his armies with a legendary saber." explained Matt Bataar.
"Well Attila the Hun had a brain bashing Axe called the Scythian Axe." David explained.
To test both weapons we've set up a single armored target, Matt Bataar, steps up to the target, and waited for Geoff. "Three..two..one attack!". Matt whacked Attila's shield with his saber, then he stabbed him through the armor, and then he struck it on its skull.
"Well, you could break a wrist with the shield attack and kill the target with the stab to the chest and an instant kill with the skull strike." Dr, Dorian explained.
David stepped up to the, target and Geoff gave the count down and he whacked the shield with both hands on the axe handle, then he slammed the axe into the chest plate armor then he bashed is skull.
"Well, you can possibly break a rib with the chest strike, and break a wrist with the shield strike, then the only killing blow is the head srtike." Dr. Dorian explained.
"Which armor is more effective?" asked Geoff.
"In my mind it has to go to Genghis Khan he had more protection, then Attila's Leather armor." Dr. Dorian said.
"Edge Genghis Khan, why armor is more mobile and protective.
Edge: Genghis Khan's Steel Leather Lamerlla
Close Range
Scythian Axe v. Turko-Mongol Saber
"We've seen, the Saber and axe preform against armor / now we will test their effectiveness on horseback with on single pig target." Announced Geoff.
The Genghis Khan expert got on horse back and Geoff gave the count down. "Matt are you ready?' asked Geoff, "Ready!" he responded, "Three..two...one Charge!" Matt charged towards the pig and he swung his saber and nearly cut the pig in half.
"Alright David are you ready?" "Yes" he responded, "3...2...1 Attack!". Then David charged towards the Pig and slashed the Pig with the axe head, and only scratched it.
"Well with Genghis Khan's Saber its built for horseback, but the axe is not made for horseback." Mack Said.
"Agreed the saber nearly slashed the pig in half and the Scythian Axe only scratched the Target." Dr. Dorian said.
"Although the Saber is more powerful from horseback the Scythian axe, is better off horseback, however both these generals, and their men spent most of their time on horseback edge: Genghis Khan" Geoff said.
Close Range: Turko-Mongol Saber
Mid-Range
Jida Lance v. Hunnic Spear
Since we've seen the Qiang Spear which is much like the Jida Lance we reviewed the tests from Yung Lu v. Honda Tadakatsu.
"The Huns had a throwing spear, the spear can be thrown from horseback." explained David.
To test the Hunnic Spear we've set up a single armored target, and Geoff gave the count down. "Three..two..one throw it!" David charged and at the last second he threw his Hunnic spear, and the rammed it into the targets heart.
"Wow, this spear goes right into his heart, instant kill." Dr Dorian said.
"The Jida Lance might be a great Lance but the Hunnic Spear, can kill a man instantly." Mack said.
"Agreed edge Hunnic Spear." Geoff said.
Edge: Hunnic Spear

Both warriors were master horse archers, we've set up four targets, each expert is given one ride by at a time. Gregor, charged and fired his bow hitting a target in the shoulder, then, David charged and hit a target in the shoulder killing him instantly. Then Gregor came back around and shot another target in the chest, David then charged and shot a target in throat. Then Gregor came around for his last past and shot a target in the gut, then David fired his last bow and hit a target in the collar bone.
"Wow.. you both hit the targets, and Genghis Khan killed 3 out of 4 targets, while Attila the Hun killed all four targets." Dr. Dorian said.

"Alexander the Great won many battle because, he had the best training via Aristotle, he also was a master swordsmen.
Close Range
Jian v. Kopis
For the first test our Joshua steps up to an armored target, and then he slammed his Jian in his shield and he slashed him across the helmet denting it then he spun around stabbing Alexander the Great's chest plate but just barely.
"First off with the shield we got around 80 psi but not critical for a break in the wrist, the helmet we have on little dent but it in an area were its doubled up, the chest shot i'm seeing one little pierce into his chest but only a little scrape." Geoff explained
"Well in my book, my Kopis is going to cut your head off." Nathan said.
To put that two the test walked up to an unarmored Ballistics Jell Torso and he waited for the go ahead for Geoff, and he took a single strike to the neck scratching it and on the third strike his head fell off.
"Well you did lop off his head but it did take a couple swipes with that sword with my Jian i would have killed you before you could kill me." Exclaimed Joshua Dai.
Another test is set up this time with Sun Tzu's shield, and armor and the Alexander expert slashed into the shield and then he slashed his skull imbedding it into his skull he then removed it and stabbed into his armor.
"Wow! That is amazing, you pierced through his chest armor possibly killing him, the shield you could break a wrist but its to difficult to say." Dr. Dorian explained.
"So what Short range weapon gets the edge." Asked Geoff
"In my mind it has to go to the Jian it has a longer reach then the kopis." Dr. Dorian said.
"I have to give it to Alexander the Great's kopis it can be used on horseback." Mack said.
"In my mind, it's dead even both are very lethal the Jian has longer reach but Kopis can get threw Sun Tzu's Armor." said Geoff
Edge: Even
Coming up Sun Tzu's Iron Claw goes head-to-head with an amazing stabbing spear.
Mid-Range
Zhua v. Xyston
"Sun Tzu's Zhau or Iron Claw was a brutal weapons made for cleaving off enemies faces, jaws." Jessie explained.
The Sun Tzu expert steps up to an unarmored torso and he waits for the count down and as Geoff gives him the go ahead he slams the torso's head and the face whacks him across the face ripping it off.
"Well..you tore his face off in two swipes which is really impressive." Dr. Dorian said.
"With my Xyston he want even be able to use this weapon before you have up to 7 feet of steel in you." Simon explained
To put the Xyston to the test the Alexander expert will have one drive by and one chance to stab an armored jell torso from horseback.
The Alexander the Great expert gets on his horse, the expert charges at full gallop, and he rams his Xyston into the Jell Torso's chest going through the armor and piercing all the way through to the back.
"With this strike it is an instant kill." Dr. Dorian said.
"Which Mid-Range weapons gets the edge?" asks Geoff.
"My edge goes to the Zhua it tore the face off of the torso in two strikes." said Dr. Dorian
"I have to disagree with you Doc the Xyston can kill with one strike from foot and horseback." said Mack.
"I Agree 100% with you Mack, Edge: Xyston" Said Geoff
Edge: Alexander the Great's Xyston
Long Range
Cho-Ko-Nu v. Gastraphetes
To put both weapons to the test three targets are set up one of them wearing Sun Tzu's armor each expert has one minute to kill each target.
Nathan loaded his Gastraphetes aimed it fired hitting a Torso in the gut, he then reloaded his second bolt and he fired it hitting the armored torso in the throat, then as he reloaded his Belly Bow, Geoff yelled out. "Time!"
"Well lets look at the stats, we have an instant kill on an armored target and a mortal wound for the other and a one survivor." said Dr. Dorian
"You have one kill and two that walk away with my Cho-Ko-Nu i will be able to kill more people in less time." said Jessie Chenhua
Again three targets are set one wearing Alexander the Great's chest plate, and the Sun Tzu expert began to fired his Cho-Ko-Nu but missed the first two shots then he hit another unarmored target in the chest and then he fired off more shots one of them bouncing off Alexander's plate, and then he reloaded his Repeating Crossbow, and fired off more shots hitting the other unarmored target in the shoulder and heart. Geoff then yelled "Time!"
"So in my mind i have to give it to the Repeating Crossbow has more bolts and fast reload speed." Said Mack
"Not only does it have a fast reload speed and the bolts are poisoned." Said Dr. Dorian
"I agree with both of you the Repeating Crossbow is more lethal then Alexander's Gastraphetes." Said Geoff
Long Range: Sun Tzu's Repeating Crossbow
Special
Ho Chien v. Ballista
Alexander's Ballista will be tested at a range, Alexander the Great's experts load a bolt into the ballista and they fired it and the shot hit an unarmored jell torso in the chest, then as they reloaded the second shot they re-aimed it and fired off another this time hitting a jell torso in the chest sending him flying into another.
"Well first off this ballista is far more accurate of a weapon, and each shot is a kill." Said Dr. Dorian
"Yes this is a powerful weapon but it has a slow reload time, with my Flaming Arrows i will be able to take out hundreds of your guys in a fraction of the time it takes to reload this weapon." explained both Sun Tzu expert's.
To put the flaming arrows to the test five Jell Torso's are set up down range one of them wearing Alexander's bronze plate armor.
The Sun Tzu experts lights up a flaming arrow sending it down range hitting, the armored target in the chest bouncing off his plate, he sends another one down range setting fire to the brush as well as the torso's.
"Wow that is amazing brutal, all targets are killed within an instant." Said Mack
"I have to give this one to Sun Tzu's Ho Chien, it has a faster reload time and not to mention the damage it does within a short amount of time." Said Dr. Dorian
"Ballista gets the edge why has farther range and deals more damage then the Flaming Arrows." Said Geoff
"Both weapons are very lethal for my its a wash." Said Mack
Special: Even
Legacies
Sun Tzu's Art of War v. Alexander the Great's Battle of Gaugamela
"What is one of Sun Tzu greatest accomplishments?" asked Mack
"Obviously it's his Art of War, which he wrote in the blood of his enemies / Sun Tzu wrote about Deception, Ambushing, & most famously Misdirection" Jessie explained.
"Explain how Sun Tzu would use Deception in battle? Dr. Dorian asked.
"He would set up multiple ambushes, and would be able to take out armies, six times in size." She responded.
Alexander the Great's Battle of Gaugamela
"What was one of Alexander's greatest battles." asked Mack
"Obviously when he defeated King Darius, at Gaugamela." Nathan responded.
"Lets head to Gaugamela." Mack said.
"Alexander the Great, held his ground with his Phalanx / he had his men in a oval shape, this made Darius, send in his War Chariots."
"He wanted Darius to send in his War Chariots!" Mack exclaimed.
"He knew how to take out the Chariots once they were outed, Alexander called off his Calvary, and moved his Calvary to the right waking parallel to the battle field." Nathan Said.
"Darius then thought Alexander would out flank him." Mack Said.
"Exactly, Alexander had men behind his Calvary, with Javelins, Sling, and Short Bows, once the last Persian Calvary road off, a gap opened in the Persian line opened up and he pulled his Calvary in and his men behind his calvary throw Spears, Javelins, Sling and fire Bows and the Persian Calvary and Persian Line." Nathan said.
"He used his hidden men to distract and take out the Persian Calvary and other Persian Units, he then rams into the Persian line. Mack Said.
"Pretty much but this is the best part Darius began top retreat, and Alexander's goal was to kill him and behead him, but his second General Parenio was in trouble, he was outnumbered he had to chose kill the King or save his men, he then pulled off King Darius and charged into the confused Persian line and saved his men." Nathan explained.
"While Sun Tzu's Art of War changed the course of Modern Warfare, Alexander's brilliant battle tactics at Gaugamela is legendary." Mack Said.
