Can a defender voluntarily retreat after taking losses?
Retreats after combat are mandatory under the rulebook, and a defender cannot choose to leave.

No. A defender retreats only when the rules force it, which is when the attacker wins with a full-strength unit still standing. Otherwise the defender stays where it is. Only the Withdrawal and Great Retreat cards let a player retreat by choice.
