No. The whole army retreats to a single adjacent region free of enemy units and enemy-controlled settlements, with all its Leaders and characters. A retreat into a Stronghold is also all-or-nothing, and a Stronghold can protect only five units. The designer advised: retreat out of the region, fight another round, or lose the sixth unit to overstacking.
