↑ The strength of Arabs is not recorded for this battle, but the armies to the east of Khorasan controlled by the Arabs later were estimated by the Chinese in 718 with 900,000 troops available to respond (Bai 2003, pp. 225–6).
↑ Chinese regular exploited to the area of western protectorate from the Chinese heartland never exceed 30,000 between 692–726. However, the Tongdian (801 AD), the earliest narrative for battle itself by either side suggests 30,000 deaths, whereas the Tangshu (945 AD) accounted 20,000 (probably included mercenaries already) in this battle (Bai 2003, pp. 224–5). The earliest Arabic account for the battle itself from Al-Kamil fi al-Tarikh (1231 AD) suggests 100,000 troops (50,000 deaths and 20,000 prisoners), however Bartold considered them to be exaggerated (Xue 1998, các trang. 256–7; Bartold 1992, các trang. 195–6).
