Retreat from battle

[reginaldbull]

Hi,
is it possible for the defending army to retreat into a stronhold in the first battle round?

That means is it possible when the enemy declares an attack to a army in a region with a stronghold that the army retreats into the stronghold at the beginning of the battle phase?

Or is the retreat into the stronghold only possible a the next battle phase after removing the losses?

Read page 14 and 15 in the English Rule Book:

"Before every battle round, the defenders must choose either to Fight a Field Battle or to Retreat into a Siege"

You are allowed to retreat into a Siege as soon as the enemy is attacking you, prior to the first combat round.

Let's see if I have undestood this point.
In the first round of battle you can decide whether retreating into the stronghold (siege) or fighting a field battle.
In the following rounds you can do the same choice if you previously chose to fight a field battle,until you choose to retreat into the stronghold.From this moment on you have no choice but be besieged,unless you win a sortie.
Is a bit confusing, so please correct any error (and sorry for the poor English).
