22 And in the commencement of the twenty and eighth year, Moroni and Teancum and many of the chief captains held a council of war what they should do to cause the Lamanites to come out against them to battle,

23 Or that they might by some means flatter them out of their strongholds, that they might gain advantage over them and take again the City of Mulek.

24 And it came to pass that they sent embassies to the armies of the Lamanites, which protected the City of Mulek, to their leader whose name was Jacob, desiring him that he would come out with his armies to meet them upon the plains between the two cities.

25 But behold, Jacob, which was a Zoramite, would not come out with his army to meet them upon the plains.

26 And it came to pass that Moroni having no hopes of meeting them upon fair grounds, Therefore, he resolved upon a plan that he might decoy the Lamanites out of their strongholds;

27 Therefore, he caused that Teancum should take a small number of men and march down near the seashore, And Moroni and his army, by night, marched into the wilderness on the west of the City Mulek;

28 And thus on the morrow, when the guards of the Lamanites had discovered Teancum, they ran and told it unto Jacob their leader.

29 And it came to pass that the armies of the Lamanites did march forth against Teancum, supposing by their numbers to overpower Teancum because of the smallness of his numbers;

30 And as Teancum saw the armies of the Lamanites coming out against him, he began to retreat down by the seashore, northward.

31 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that he began to flee, they took courage and pursued them with vigor;

32 And while Teancum was thus leading away the Lamanites which were pursuing them in vain, Behold, Moroni commanded that a part of his army which were with him should march forth into the city and take possession of it.
