Well, if the book said that about Aragorn, I suppose everything I've been arguing so far is useless.

Still don't need to believe Aragorn needed to have his rear attacked....

Gondorians were heavy infantry, and definitely could've taken troll attacks. Again, I use Romans against Boudicca as an example. The British queen had tens of thousands of chariots who continually tried to assault the Roman rear. But the Roman infantry was unstoppable, and coiuld literally stop a chariot in its tracks. And this is a chariot we're talking here, with wheels that could slice your legs off, powerful horses, and javelin throwing riders.
