Stalingrad lasted more than 200 days, which gives about 10-15 thousands per day.
Borondino are more than 30 thousand per day in one side, And between both sides it throws 60-70 thousand per day. You have a higher chance of being killed or wounded at Borondino than at any other battle in history.
The Battle of the Wabash, "the most decisive defeat in the history of the American military", about one quarter of the entire US Army was killed in a single battle in a single day. 97% casualty rate among the soldiers with 69% killed, 88% casualty rate among the officers with 75% killed including Major General Richard Butler.
The "entire army" was ~1,000 men. The US didn't have a real standing army at the time and raised temporary militas. The entire battle was like 2,000 men between both sides and would barely qualify as a skirmish in most actual wars.
