It was impossible for Mu Nanjin to train everyone into elite soldiers, so he could only select some soldiers from the 200,000 soldiers for strict training.

"We don't want warriors, we don't want strong men, and we don't want those who are taller than Liu Qian."

Everyone looked at Liu Qian.

Liu Qian is still a teenager now and his height has not yet fully developed.

He is currently only half a head taller than Mu Nanjin, and most of the soldiers present are tall and strong, with relatively few short people.

Sha Pingai asked in confusion: "Isn't it better to be stronger in battle so that you can inflict a fatal blow to the enemy? Why did Lord Mu choose short soldiers for training?"

Mu Nanjin said: "The warriors and strong soldiers are able to protect themselves, so let's leave the opportunity to the weak soldiers. They don't want to die on the battlefield, and they also want to go home and reunite with their families."

Sha Pingai was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Master Mu is indeed very thoughtful."

She turned to Captain Li and said, "Just do as Lord Mu said and gather all the thin and short soldiers at the training ground at the entrance of the barracks."

"yes."

Captain Li passed down the order, and in just half an hour, the thin and short soldiers gathered on the training ground, a total of 3,077 people.

The soldiers who had been training on the drill ground stepped aside to watch and discuss in low voices.

"I heard that the general wants to train a team of elite soldiers to become the strongest team in our battalion."

"I've heard that, too. But why did the general and his men pick such skinny and short soldiers? Are they trying to train them into elite soldiers?"

"What's the point of choosing these weak soldiers? I can knock them down with one punch. Putting them on the battlefield will only lead to their death."

"It will take at least a year to train them."

"Even if they become stronger, they are still not as strong as us."

The disdainful voices made the soldiers standing in the middle of the training ground lower their heads.

Mu Nanjin said calmly: "Everyone, raise your heads."

The voice, without a trace of emotion, spread out, and everyone present could hear it clearly.

The weak soldiers all looked up at Mu Nanjin who was standing on the training command platform.

Mu Nanjin continued, "If you don't want to die on the battlefield or want to go home to see your family, then you should train well in the next few days."

"yes."

"yes."

The responses were weak and untidy.

Captain Li asked angrily, "Didn't you eat? Answer me again."

The weak soldiers quickly straightened up and shouted, "Yes."

Mu Nanjin added: "After thirteen days, we will let you compete with the soldiers outside the field. If you win, you will be rewarded, and if you lose, you will have to accept the punishment."

The weak soldiers looked at the strong soldiers standing outside the field and immediately began to back down.

Someone whispered, "They are tall and strong, how can we possibly defeat them?"

"They can knock us off our feet with just one punch."

"It's simply wishful thinking to expect us to beat them after only training for more than ten days."

The strong soldiers outside the field challenged: "Come on, we are waiting for you to challenge us."

"Anyone who doesn't dare to challenge us is a coward."

"That's right."

The weak soldiers lowered their heads and clenched their fists unwillingly.

Mu Nanjin turned to Captain Li and said, "Tell them to put on sandbags and follow me."

Mu Nanjin took out a piece of paper and gave it to Sha Pingai: "Deputy General Sha, can you help me prepare the materials on it? I want to make a set of armor for these soldiers."

Sha Pingai looked at the materials and said, "We need to apply to the Ministry of War. We can only get the materials after they are approved. I'm afraid it will take some time."

In fact, if it was the materials that Mu Nanjin wanted, he would definitely approve it immediately, because even if the Minister of War disagreed, the emperor would approve it, and the Minister of War would not dare to disagree with Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin: "The sooner the better. It would be best if we can apply for the materials within ten days and then send them to the Mu Mansion."

Sha Pingai nodded: "I'll try my best."

She gave the list to General Dingguo, who was in charge of the matter.

After the soldiers put on their sandbags, Mu Nanjin led them into the mountains.

After entering the mountains, Mu Nanjin asked them to climb tall trees.

The soldier didn't know what she meant, but he did as she said.

They also have training on a regular basis. Although they are not agile when climbing trees, it is not difficult for them to climb a tree.

However, Mu Nanjin didn't just let them climb once, but asked them to climb continuously.

After becoming familiar with one tree, climbing another tree is a big challenge for the soldiers.

Mu Nanjin did not leave Liu Qian, Sang Tai and Shu Xiyao idle. She ordered Heitan to teach them swordsmanship and kung fu, so that they could become stronger than people of the same level. Jia Yin, Lu Feichen and Wu Yuan were responsible for hunting and barbecue.

With the three of them around, it was not difficult to find prey in winter, and it was not difficult to be responsible for the meals of more than 3,000 people. As long as they used their spiritual power to control the fire, they could quickly roast the prey.

While the soldiers were eating, Mu Nanjin explained to them the vulnerable parts of the human body.

They stayed in the mountains for a whole day, returned to the military tent at 11 p.m., and fell asleep.

The next day at 4:45 am, he got up and ran into the mountains again. The training content was still the same as yesterday, climbing trees non-stop.

They trained like this for ten days, after which Mu Nanjin asked them to chase the spirit ball in the dense forest.

The spirit ball is a white ball condensed by Mu Nanjin's spiritual power. It is very fast and agile in dodging. Whoever can catch it can sleep half an hour longer the next day.

As a result, no one could catch it.

Thirteen days later, a competition was held in the military camp, with more than 3,000 thin soldiers challenging strong soldiers.

Mu Nanjin ordered the skinny soldiers: "You can take off your sandbags now."

The soldiers quickly took off the sandbags tied around their waists, legs and wrists, and immediately felt relieved. They even felt that the cotton armor on their bodies was no longer as heavy as before, and their limbs were as nimble as if they were wearing ordinary uniforms.

Mu Nanjin continued, "First, fifty people come up and choose the person you want to challenge. If you win, you stand on my right, and if you lose, you stand on my left. Do you understand?"

"clear."

The soldiers responded in unison.

The voice is loud and the momentum is no less than that of a strong soldier.

The generals raised their eyebrows in surprise. It only took more than ten days to train the soldiers well.

Little did they know that during training in the mountains, if they responded slowly or too quietly, they would not have food for the whole day.

In order to get food, the soldiers shouted as loudly as they could.

Mu Nanjin asked: "Who will go first?"

The thin soldiers hesitated. They looked at each other, and no one dared to stand up.

They were not afraid of being beaten, but they were afraid of losing and bringing shame to Mu Nanjin.
