Well it depends what it means by soldiers. If it means a hundred generic guards not trained in ninjutsu, then yeah, not that impressive. If it means soldiers as in the usual forces deployed by shinobi, then you're looking at roughly 100 genin or chunin level opponents and let's remember way back when during Part 1 where genin like Lee could rip giant roots out of the ground with his bare hands, Gaara could turn people to mulch while standing still and Sasuke could deep fry Orochimaru's face. That's a distinctly more admirable feat to face numbers like that and come out the better for it.
