Maybe they had a trailing wind.
When it comes to the accuracy of historical numbers, I always think of the size of the Persian army at Thermopylae

Historical accounts were still a form of propaganda back then.

And still are today. Seriously, try watching the same event covered by CNN vs a foreign news source, I won't even mention other cable news channels.
