Timurās Indian campaign was particularly bloody. Even before he reached Delhi, he was forced to execute up to 100,000 captives he had taken along the way that were slowing him down on his journey to Delhi. In the aftermath of the victorious battle, upon entering the capital city, the citizens rose up and fought back. Timur, furious at the insult to his authority, ordered a massacre which would overshadow any he had carried out before. Killing the citizens and leaving their bodies as food for the birds, Delhi was destroyed so bad that it would take almost a century before it could recover to the levels it was at. Uninterested in remaining in India, soon after he headed back to Transoxiana. Not before he took tons of treasure back with him to his capital Samarqand. He even needed 90 elephants to carry back stones from quarries which would be used to erect beautiful monuments in his capital like the Bibi Khanum Mosque.
