Before the Siege of Gian, I estimated Qin had about 15,000 men left in Northern Zhao.
The raws seems to confirm that number has now shrunk to the point the Qin now have fewer than 10,000 men left.
That means a few things.
1. the taking of Gian was more costly to the HSA+GKA than I anticipated, and
2. Kan Ki held on to even fewer troops than I thought he would.
Of the 140,000 Qin troops that fought in Battle at Gian, I believed 125,000 of them to have died in Ri Boku's cage. My estimates were:
For what it's worth, I had Kan Ki breaking through with roughly 5K men left alive, but I naturally assumed many would fall behind and be hunted down. Still, I expect Kan Ki to arrive with at least 2000 men and it seems he arrived with closer to 200.
The Gian campaign has been costly to Qin.

Code:
estimated Qin casualties
- close to 100% of 10,000 Heki Army
- close to 100% of 50,000 Fuu Han Army
- about 90% of the 55,000 Kan Ki Army, or roughly 49,500 dead
- about 60% of HSA+GKA or about 15,000 dead
