Maybe he was refering to the relatively lack of  chi-blockers in the fire nation. the equalists have thousands [?] and we only know one fire national: Ty Lee.

I bet there are more, but I think that was his idea.

And like you said, the fire nation was defeated because they did some strategic blows. Ozai air fleet, Azula [zuko+katara fought her] Aaang defeats Ozai. Possibly later the millions of fire nation troops received order to stop the anti-earth kingdom resistance and  amass on the shores to wait for withdrawal back to the Mainland.

OWL reconquered ba sing se possibly because it would be a base of launching attacks (like a massive fortress city-state, impenetrable once again) if the plan A failed [gaang confronts Ozai+Azula] and the fire nation continues the war under some warlord leadership.
