The battle in question involved the crusaders breaking into a large city, and fighting the vast majority of the Egyptian Army, as well as the locals, inside it, after being trapped and surrounded. While the number may be a little high, it would not by much and it is the commonly accepted number.

More never showed up.

The crusades, overall, failed due more to supply issues, and the foe being more powerful than them. The successful ones, imo, were the ones that faced a divided foe. Luck played very little to do with it.
