Wasn't it just one army?

The phrase "his armies" doesn't seem strange to me. It's also seen used other places.

BTW, I just adopted an existing sentence. I din't write this one.

It may not be strange, but wouldn't you agree that we should try to make historical or scientific sentences as accurate as possible?

Did Napoleon only send one of his armies into Russia?

It was called the Grande Armée and as such was only one, but it wasn't what we'd call an army today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grande_Arm%C3%A9e.

@Pfirsichbäumchen
"Army" has more than one meaning, even in Esperanto, as you may see, if you compare meaning 1 and 2 of this definition: http://vortaro.net/#armeo
