Death toll?

Millions of people butchered or tortured to death by the Hongs, the Sungs, the Tangs, the McSweeneys and the Fangs (pg 11).
People who couldn't write a decent poem to save their lives and sometimes hadn't (pg 74).
The assassins occasionally sent against Lord Hong who were sufficiently competent to keep him interested & observant & entertained (pg 80-81).
Caleb the Ripper killed more than 400 men with his bare hands (pg 87).
Truckle the Uncivil cut the heads off the Mad Demon-Sucking Priests of Ee (pg 134).
The Red Army crushed all the Bandit Chiefs (pg 150). A large number of deaths probably occurred.
People were taken into the Forbidden City and only bits of them were seen again. Usually their heads on spikes over the gates (pg 154).
People eaten by Truckle's dog (pg 159).
The Emperor played chess with live pieces (pg 163).
2 dozen ninjas attacked the Silver Horde. At least one wasn't killed (pg 199-204).
Bruce the Hoon and 1000 men attacked Al Khali (pg 221)
Cohen did something nasty with his thumb to the Mad Snake Priests of Start (pg 243).
Cohen always kills Grand Viziers as soon as he meets them (pg 244). Given his long life and the large number of Grand Viziers this would be a quite impressive total.
Cohen has killed 2,000 or 3,000 people not counting Dwarfs or Trolls (pg 272).
The Silver Horde (all 7 of them) battled the 5 armies (all 700,000 of them) during a fierce storm. The 7,000 members of the Red Army were also later involved. The Red Army trod on people and killed others in a more traditional manner. Soldiers were also killed by exploding Red Army soldiers (the Golems) and more soldiers were killed in brief inter-army battles & by their own sides (friendly stab). The exact death toll would be quite large - however the Silver Horde suffered no casualties.
There was a skirmish in Bes Pelargic in which a couple of streets were destroyed (pg 342).
