  The opposing army upon seeing the lone samurai on the bridge lined up

archers and let loose.	The samurai, using his naginata, proceeded to
deflect the arrows.  They then sent in the infantry to clear him off.

several minutes and dead and wounded later they withdrew.
  THey then sent a group to ford the difficult river and attack from
both
sides.	After several more minutes and several more dead and dying the
withdrew.  THe opposing army decided to leave at the point and honored

  Of course I think he later died of the wounds later but this is pretty
impressive.  Something like this could only happen before gunpowder
