Where, exactly, do the books say that the force was at least ten thousand?  The movies said so, but as far as I know the only reference to size is where the scout says to Théoden the following:
{{quote|'Is it known how great is the host that comes from the North?' ''[asked Théoden]'' 'It is very great,' said the scout.  'He that flies counts every foeman twice, yet I have spoken to stouthearted men, and I do not doubt that the main strength of the enemy is many times as great as all that we have here.'|[[The Lord of the Rings]], [[Helm's Deep (chapter)|Helm's Deep]]}}

Where, exactly, do the books say that the force was at least ten thousand? The movies said so, but as far as I know the only reference to size is where the scout says to Théoden the following:

"Is it known how great is the host that comes from the North?' [asked Théoden] 'It is very great,' said the scout. 'He that flies counts every foeman twice, yet I have spoken to stouthearted men, and I do not doubt that the main strength of the enemy is many times as great as all that we have here."
