Where “live off the land” meant mostly living off those already living off that particular patch of land. I feel like “forage” in those terms can be obscuring. Invading armies are predatory.

So did a lot of armies scorch the earth behind them or is that just dramatic storytelling, since they may have to retreat the same way?

A lot of armies scorched their own earth as they retreated, so their enemies would have nothing to forage or loot (cf. Napoleon's invasion of Russia)

If I remember right, armies had a bad habit of getting distracted looting the enemy baggage train instead of actually fighting the enemy. At which point the other side regrouped, counter attacked and massacre the looters.
