How to Parry his Straight Thrusts and Disengagements.
All his straight thrusts or disengagements over your blade may be parried with prime, and all those under your blade with seconde.
These parries are stronger than tierce and quarte, and are, therefore, better adapted for parrying such a heavy weapon as a rifle and bayonet.
They also defend the head and leg as well as the body, while the others only guard the breast.
Tierce and quarte may, however, be occasionally used against his thrusts at the breast. A greater variety of returns would be thereby obtained.
