It deprived his army of food for the soldiers and fodder for the horses. Having to search far and wide for food slowed the army's progress down considerably. And because food was almost always insufficient, it undermined the condition and health of soldiers and animals, which in turn made them easier to fight and defeat.
It is commonly called a "scorched earth" policy. Hitler ordered Albert Speer to institute a scorched earth policy near the end of the war. Without telling Hitler, Speer ignored the command (he revealed this to Hitler only a few days before Hitler committed suicide). Speer's refusal to, literally, "burn Germany to the ground" is part of why when he was tried at Nuremberg, he got 20 years instead of life or execution.

This question is not accurate. There was no battle that was known as scorched earth. Rather scorched earth was a method of fighting and is sometimes referred to as "the scorched earth policy". An army that applied the scorched earth policy would destroy all resources as they retreated. This would prevent the approaching enemy from having any food or shelter or supplies to supplement their army. This policy was used by the Russians against Napleon in 1814 and again by the Russians against the Germans in 1941.
