Sorry about that. I miss-typed a bit... Heres the quote for you, from King, 186.
"The men of the West were trapped, and soon, all about the grey mounds where they stood, forces ten times and more than ten times their match would ring them in a sea of foes."
The Lords of the West had 6,000 at the battle, and Sauron had more than ten times that. About 60,000-70,000, most likely.
