The Siege of the Sogdian Rock 327BC

The Siege of the Sogdian Rock was one of the last decisive battles Alexander was involved in. The Rock was thought to be inpregnable and when Alexander asked the defenders to surrender, they refused, telling him that he would need "men with wings" to capture it.

In your opinion, what was the most important factor that led to Alexanders victory.

Also, what was the most important outcome of the battle and why?
