Nice troll bro.

You can block a troll's attacks with a bronze shield no problem. Mine was level 2 (a single upgrade). Just don't use blunt against them. I was winning melee fights with trolls using a level 2 bronze axe in level 2 bronze armor before moving out of black forest.

You can block one, but not two at a time and since The Ground is Shaking event involves two trolls I wouldn't advise attempting melee against them in bronze.
As for blunt, Frostner deals frost and spirit damage as well as blunt and that's why I said Frostner and not mace.
So, until later, bow and kiting is your best option.
