What do you make of the SIZE of the Armies?

When Azog sends his spawn?.. Bolg to Gundabad
we get a Huge shot of The Moria Orc Army.
Similar to the Isengard army headed to Helm's Deep
in TTT.
Well, if we are to believe Aragorn that, THAT was
10,000 @ least...
THEN.. Azog had pretty much emptied Moria, & Armored them
from Sunlight..that would have.BURNed them.
According to the Book, Thranduil brought 700 Archers.
Which looked about right in the Movie.
Hard to tell exactly how many were brought from Mount Gundabad
but a guess? would be about another 5,000..
Dain's Army could have been about 800.
{But it has been leaked that there might be a Second Iron Hills Army in the EE}
The BATS, maybe about 200.?
The Eagles about maybe 30.?
The Men & Women of Laketown, about 200 total
on the Battle field & Hiding in the City of Dale.
Well, once the Battle commences it seems the Good Guys
likely kill @least 10 orcs, EACH often.
IS there anything in the "Chronicles" Books that list the Totals ?
A secong question : Once the Battle is won,
were the Entire ORC armies Killed, or did a percentage flee back to where they Came?
IT might be logical that even after the Day-Long Battle was over..
The Eagles continued to wipe OUT, any fleeing into the Hills.
60 years later, only puny, Strange BUG-Eyed goblins pursued the "Nine Walkers' in Moria.
Would love to know, if anyone here knows
an accurate TOTAL?
