As far as I remember, Great Cleave, Whirlwind Attack and the class ability of some Prestige Classes called Supreme Cleave could effectively be combined to deal death to about 24-32 mooks per round.

With a paladin's bonded mount, the mounted combat feats, Cleave and the horse itself having Great Cleave; it was possible to ride into massed ranks and kill hundreds per round for as long as you cared to continue (the character who did was 19th level, but I don't know if he couldn't have done it at 12th or earlier).

It didn't make any sense, but it was rules legal.
