Scorched earth policy
The scorched earth policy has been used in several conflicts, but one notable example is during the American Civil War, particularly by General William Tecumseh Sherman in his "March to the Sea" in 1864. This strategy involved destroying infrastructure and resources to undermine the enemy's ability to sustain itself. Additionally, the policy has been employed in various forms in conflicts such as the Second Boer War in South Africa and during World War II by both the Nazis and Soviets.
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.

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.
