As history has shown, grabbing a piece of ground and holding it are two different things (especially if all your friendly forces are gibbering and drooling with fear in the deepest cave they could find to hide in).

You are right, of course, but perhaps not in the obvious way. Militarily speaking there would be no difficulty. Holding the land would be the least of their problems, there would have been nobody left to challenge Aragorn's hold, which is the highest goal of a campaign of conquest. Assuming that all went well in the battle, of course.
The problems would probably be social rather than military.
