They went only as far as the Ammonite border because the boundary of the Ammonites was fortified.

Then they turned and marched up the road to Bashan, but King Og of Bashan and all his people attacked them at Edrei.

Do the same to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon." And Israel killed King Og, his sons, and all his subjects, not a single survivor remained. Then Israel occupied their land.  (see all Numbers 21)
