One formula that has been around for a time is:-

+ Number of troops / Force required to threaten (max 100%)
	+ Commander rank
	- Population centre loyalty
	- Fortifications (20% per level) (reduce this if the threatening
		army has war machines to minimum 0).
	- 20% if the pop centre is a capital

By this formula, you would have (130 - loyalty)% chance.

Experience suggests that excessive numbers of troops (which you certainly
have) do have an addition effect, and that there may be a significant
chance of "critical success/failure".

Go for it.
