(p.65/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Coda Lunga Stretta; Counter to play 41) The counter to the counter above is that, you and your enemy both being in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward; there you will beat his sword towards his right side with a mezzo mandritto that does not pass porta di ferro stretta; and if he should now make a sfalsata of his sword under yours, to then make a mandritto or thrust to your chest, then you will be mindful that as he makes the disengage, then you will pass the left foot forward, making a half turn of the hand, and then pushing a thrust to his chest, the sword ending in coda lunga alta with the arm extended as far forward as possible; or if you prefer, as he makes his sfalsata under your sword, you may defend yourself with the false edge of your sword, knocking the enemy’s attack towards his left side, and as quickly as possible you will make a mandritto to his face or to his sword arm that does not pass porta di ferro stretta; and note that when make this mandritto, you may either pass the right foot a little forward, or pass the left foot towards his right side and allow the right leg to follow behind the left.
