Best Single-Unit kill totals

What is the most men a single unit of yours has killed in one battle?

I've topped 800 with a thracian bodyguard in vanilla, 450 with gallic light cavalry(mostly routers), 350 with a unit of Gaesatae(most of which came from Germanic Bodyguard units), and several in the 300-400 range with various cavalry bodyguard units.

Something like 900 with some Armoured Indian Elephants when I was facing lots of weak Sabean units, just charged them in the back and watched as they flied in the air and routed, only to be trampled.
In Vanilla I have gotten far over 1000 kills several times, but the worst was with a unit of Spartan Hoplites guarding a bridge against 5(!) full stacks of Iberians. They were completely slaughtered, and when they routed they routed across the bridge into my phalanx, and so only 5 men of their 9000 men strong army survived. But hey, that´s Vanilla for you.

Not many, I'm guessing, it was probably all in a day's work for them. XD

My Hai FMs have gotten several hundred kills before since they ARE your offense for like 1/2 the game. Though I think my record was from some Parthian FMs. I literally killed every single unit with that guy though many arrows from other HA and archers were involved, there must have been close to 1500 enemy guys too.
