The approaching Bulgarian forces number about 4,000.

The Orientals were originally a country of cities and surrounding villages, and their numbers were not that large.

The number of mobilized soldiers was not so large. Even if they tried their best, it would be 5,000 or so, including, of course, those who were craftsmen by profession.

Therefore, the number of soldiers defending this area should have been much smaller than it was.

However, there are about 3,000 soldiers here, and in spite of that, there are a good number of defenders in the other areas as well.
