Thats baloney. There were no 600,000 man armies in the middle ages - there was no logistic capability to support that many troops in one army on campaign. The First Crusade kicked butt, Turk and Arab. First they took the Seljuk capital, which was Nicea, then they took Antioch. How'd they do that if the Seljuks were so overwhelmingly powerful? They took their capital, dammit!
