"Hiss... it hurts..."
Guo Dong untied his wrist bindings.
Shield bearers rely on their shields for survival, and those "steel shields" are only wielded by true elites. Equipping them on a large scale is impossible. As auxiliary troops, people like Guo Dong naturally don't have such privileges.
Arrows flew towards them, and although most were blocked by the shield, the repeated impacts were not easy to endure.
Therefore, the arm holding up the shield would be wrapped multiple times with leather or hemp cloth to make it extra thick.
Even so, during the retreat after the siege, Guo Dong's arm was pierced by an arrow slipping through the gaps in the shield.
Fortunately, the wound wasn't deep. In fact, on such a battlefield, such injuries aren't even considered wounds.
