So 70,000 men defended Hard Home. They died. So captain Ice Cock picked up 70,000 dudes in addition to the survives of the attacking force. Which was probably significant because the battle was short.
So at minimum Ice Cock has a 75,000 man army. An army of mother****ers that pretty much has to be shredded to die. Arrows to the face? Meh. Hack their arms off? No ****s given.
That's huge.

I rewatched the battle. When Jon pulls up in the boat and they pan out, there is a huge number of wildlings there. Huge.
