Does gunpowder mean automatic victory? I was under the impression that a crossbow would have better range and accuracy then an early rifle, though I'm unsure exactly what Chinese firearms were like at this point.
Crossbows have appalling low ROF - at least if they have decent range. Early guns were worse, but quickly had much superior armour penetration. If you were a Chinese general fighting Western knights in heavy plate then you'd probably prefer firearms - at least if they were was good as Western OTL ones of that date. (Which probably wouldn't be the case!)
