One thing I'd note in the Emerald Forest is that they're led by an Alpha Beowolf. Unlike in the Red Trailer where they attack relentlessly like a bunch of dumb bricks, they actually coordinate their movements this time. An example of that is a Beowolf hitting Ruby when she was distracted by Weiss exploding a tree.

Lastly, when the forest started to burn down the Alpha Beowolf ordered a retreat just as before they get disarrayed...

They may not be the smartest thing in RWBY, but they know what they're doing.
