According the numbers I have here, 10,000 Gondorians at Minas Tirith of which approximately 3000 of which were reinforcements from the rest of Gondor. 6000 Riders of Rohan joined the battle at dawn. Finally Aragorn arrived onboard the Black Fleet with 4,000 men from the Army of Southern Gondor.

DMS has the more correct answer. Your turn, DMS.
