on Deuteronomy 3:1-3
Moses tells the battle in the second person to the children of the men who died in the wilderness, handing it over as evidence. The account runs close to Numbers 21:33-35, down to the words "Do not fear him".

until no survivor was left
The verse reports the outcome in the words used of Sihon, the LORD delivered and Israel struck. Matthew Henry notes that when God takes up his people's cause he deals with giants as with grasshoppers, answering the spies at Numbers 13:33.
