To go more obscure, I’ll say the 3rd Crusade/Siege of Acre. Basically trench war for 3 years that left 40 thousand men dead. In the middle eastern heat. In heavy chain mail. With Middle Ages medicine.

Years? The Romans lost 20,000 men in just a few days in the Teutoburg Forest massacre. No one really knows how many more were maimed for life or taken as slaves.
I think I’d avoid war in any time period where the other side considered “OK, they’re ALL dead” to be only way to really declare victory.
