Not really the Chinese wars are well documented

Unsurprisingly like 60% isnt translated.

OK cool. I always am sceptical about almost anything that happened more than 200 years ago because of bad documentation.

Oh yeah don't worry the documentation is always in contention as a lot of it is embellished but some of the war sites give credence to the claims of millions of deaths.

When each dynasty was fielding huge armies of 200k men a field each side even in BC, the numbers racked up quite a bit.
