true. the superiority did have a pretty big impact, but it's not like cortes won every battle or anything and there were plenty where he came pretty close to dying.
there was one night where he was chased out of tenochtitlan and retreated northeast for about a week until he met what he claimed to be 200,000 aztecs, though that's probably not very accurate, considering he had less than a fifth of that number of troops himself, including his tlaxcalan allies and was able to win the battle by leading a cavalry charge. the macuahuitl was better suited for messing people up than it was for killing them, but enough hits could knock him off of his horse and he'd be the next sacrifice.
