I'm not into predicting things on a 'what if' basis. But there is an enormous difference between 2 defenders and 26 defenders.
The embassy is in Tripoli where the security teams are stationed. I believe it was one team of 16.

Also, the security team in Benghazi had more that 2 agents.

There are detailed accounts online.
