(p.166/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) (Counter to(play #394)) And if you are now in the enemy's place, and he is attacking you with a mezzo mandritto; there you will pass with your left foot towards his right side pushing a thrust to his chest; and then you will immediately place yourself into cinghiara porta di ferro stretta, so that he will be unable to strike your hand with that falso (as he does in the original attack); and so as he goes to throw the mandritto to your face, you will defend against this by going with your sword into guardia di testa; and passing forwards with your right foot towards his left side, you will give him a mandritto to the head that goes to porta di ferro stretta, and you will allow the left leg to gracefully follow behind the right.
