What was the bloodiest battle ever fought?

In American history, it would be the Battle of Gettysburg (46,286 killed, wounded, captured, or missing,) in the American Civil War, but in all of history is left to exaggerated claims and battles from several thousand years ago. For example, Herodotus claims that there were 257,000 casualties at the Battle of Plataea, but modern historians say that the number couldn't have been more than 51,500. Likewise, the Battle of Kalinga claims to have resulted in 1,000,000 casualties, but modern historians estimate no more than 100,000. In recent history it was probably the Somme with over 1,000,000 casualties, however this "battle" lasted for about 8 months and is more of a campaign than a single battle. The bloodiest siege in history was almost certainly the Siege of Leningrad, which lasted about 29 months, but resulted in between 1,117,000 and 4,500,000 casualties.
