Give each guy two spears. Now you have twice the spears and you didn't even have to find more guys.

Maybe they have plenty of guys but not enough spears? 6000 spearheads is a lot of work for 3 days. Ask any blacksmith!

TBH it's really easy to find spearmen if you have the spears. They require vastly less training than a swordsman or shieldbearer.

Good idea, but that still would be less than Aragorn hoped for

The Dark Lord summoned 1000 hot naked succubus and my men's about to succumb to the lure, how do i proceed?

Gays to the vanguard?

What would you do if you had 6000 spears and your high maintenance royal friend says it's one third of what he hoped for?

Distribute copies of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue along with each additional spear.

Now that's what I call thinking with spears.
