Say hello to my little friend waves crossbow

  Most peasants could not afford crossbows. There might be an exception, or in small towns with traders equipping mercenaries

  Crossbows do not fare as effectively against plate armor as video games make you believe. They fire slowly (2rpm) and only work up close; they're only going to be effective in a mass group of crossbowmen standing in a prepared defensive position, otherwise it will be a very short and one sided battle.
