Wicker shields can be sturdy as fuck, though. Persian spears in one or two ranks broke through the 4 deep Athenian centre at Marathon. And no, it wasn't intentional, stop confusing that battle with Cannae - no primary source mentions the envelopment being a planned thing.

It's not that bad OP. They showed how the Bolton infantry fought back with their armed 2nd/3rd ranks any time an unarmed dude with shield was broken past. Tormund got cut right through the plot armour on his arm to recieve a little graze even.
In that way it's keeping with the reality of men in shieldwalls or phalanx/pike blocks getting their sidearms out to fight up close when they needed. Boltons deserved the victory even after autismal cavalry sacrifice.
