HOW TO ATTACK A MAN ARMED WITH A RIFLE AND BAYONET.
A man thus armed engages in quarte or tierce, but standing with his left foot in front, his quarte will be your tierce and his tierce your quarte; that is, his right side is his quarte and your right side is your tierce, and vice versâ.
He will parry attacks made at the right side of his head or body with quarte, and those made at the left side of the head or body with tierce.
He will defend the top of his head with prime and his leg with half-circle. In both of these guards his left arm is very much exposed.
The following attacks without a feint may be made:—
Cut at his left wrist.
