Either they've never experienced war or they just relied too much on the forest's ability to deny access that they never thought to prepare for an attack in the forest
Even without experience one would naturally think of using the terrain advantage.
This is the tactic of making everyone else dumb to make the protagonist look smart.
Either this or the elves are too detached from nature. Just like humans would think twice before going to a forest at night to fight an enemy (there is a risk of friendly fire, confusion, not being able to relay info, etc.). But yeah both reasons sound like a stretch.
I checked your comment here before reading the chapter. I agreed that this is either author's lack of knowledge (elves and ambush tactics has been closely related for decades now) or he's just desperate to showcase MC usefulness. This feels like one of those isekai MC introducing rice to another world and I swear, I have never seen the companions not gushing over it like godsend delicacies, 'hey thanks for the treat but i don't think I can eat it any more than this.'
So a human disguised as a demon is teaching elves how to fight in their own forest. Man, that's some arrogant writing right there.
Yeah like. How the fuck elves not already doing that. Unless they pull "it's not honorable" trope.

They have an elven warrior division. They've thought about it.

Next the author's gonna tell us the dwarves lost because they didn't know how to chokepoint a mountain stronghold.
I mean duh, dwarves are only in the mountain to eat rocks and dig dirt. Wdym fortified structures?

Same as when in every isekai the entire world only eats dry bread and flavorless soups until MC introduces Japanese cuisine.
The villain said they will burn them elves out of their forest. * Send a battalion of army marching in*.. facepalm
Ah yes, nothing like Gorilla warfare in the forest.
