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.
