planet that can handle dismounted longbowmen or
crossbowmen

Japanese had their own infantry, armed with yari or naginata or such. 
And the samurai could be a dismounted, armored archer pretty quickly.

Not that this is at all on topic--unless someone is doing
HundredYearsWarGrunt or Full Cog/Full Junk or some such.
