I think Tolkein stated that the numbers at Mordor were more than 10 times the match of the 10,000 strong army sent by Gandalf to the Black Gate. It is also mentioned that The Witch-King sent forth one of, & not the greatest, army from his Kingdom into battle against Gondor. If this is so, the army he rode with was probably slightly less than what remained in Mordor, perhaps 100,000 soldiers. Any more than this then I doubt if it could not have been the greatest host sent.
