The numbers seem too high.

Lets consider Saito's true abilities into account.

If I remember correctly, Saito met a similar situation to this in his own universe, during the war in faux Britain. He was there with no back up whatsoever, in a similar last stand-ish situation against 70,000 men. While you state that he had defeated the 70,00 men, he really did not; the light novel points out that Saito took down 100-200 ordinary foot soldiers, along with many key officers in order to break down order.

This is an incredible feet not to be looked lowly upon, but it is far from "defeating" an army of 70,000.

Also, take note that the orcs and Uruk-Hai are much more powerful than your average man. Even with the guns, presuming that somehow all the bullets hit, it will take down around 480 orcs, and provided that Saito will use his rockets wisely, he will take down 5 trolls, or 2 catapulets, or perhaps even the witch king.

Notice how I ignored the possiblity of Saito using the environment in combat, as for the most part solely relied in his swordsmenship and Louis' void powers to win the day, instead of using his surroundings to his advantage. Couple that with the similar 100-200 orcs slain with derflinger, the kill count doesn't even count to 1000.

On the flip side, however, there are other weapons to consider; for instance, Saito had used the A7M Zero, a Panzer tank (light novel only), a flak cannon (anime only), and a Japanese F-16 (anime only). Perhaps with these weapons at his disposal, Saito may be able to raise the kill count to what you had predicted.
