The soldiers of Alexander stepped back and urged him to pull back. But, Alexander was determined and firmed; he asked his soldiers to cut down all the trees and fill up the deep valleys and rivers with

trees and make the ways through into it. His soldiers did the same and marched ahead and defeated whoever tried to resist him in his mission.
