the Conquistador will shoot and then stab the samurai to death

Ditto, especially on the shooting part
Loke, Attila, the grete conqueror,
Deyde in his sleep, with shame and dishonour,
Bleedinge ay at the nose in dronkenesse,
A captayin shoulde live in sobrenesse

The conquistadores were swordsmen.

I don't see how a conquistadore could match up with the quick sword of the sammurai.

The conquistadore swordsmen were known variously as rodeleros ("shield-bearers") and espadachins ("swordsmen").  They wore various types of armor (3/4 or 1/2 plate, maille, brigandines, native Aztec armor, etc), used a round shield either of wood reinforced with steel, or all steel (rodela), and a straight, tapered, double-edged, complex-hilted cut-and-thrust sword (espada).  They were highly trained, and were among the best swordsmen in Europe at that time.  I think a Spanish rodelero could really give a samurai a run for his money, actually.
"Who despises me and my praiseworthy craft,

I'll hit on the head that it resounds in his heart."

--Augustin Staidt, of the Federfechter (German fencing guild)
