Best Answer

Alexander always wreaked vengeance on anyone who stood in his way. Delays cost him money to pay and feed his army, which he could ill afford. He could not bypass the seaport cities, as they provided the Persian navy with the ability to attack the unprotected Macedonian and Greek cities which supplied him with soldiers, so he had to take over all the Mediterranean seaports to secure his rear before he could advance into Persia. So when he captured holdout cities, he ruthlessly looted them and sold the people into slavery both as revenge and a fundraiser.
