i remember once you have allowed me to do the same in the early months of our
first war.
i didn't find anything else in the rules that doesn't allow to do so, and it
was surprisingly clear even to me.
not big deal for this case, and i agree we need to clarify it for the future.
in my view, i cannot find any reason to not play it as rules say, but you are
the experts.

I think we played that 'portion of forces' means whole corps not factors.
Therefore you cannot split factors from a corps when you are not the phasing
player (which is why we place a factor inside a city when we move there,
because we cannot if an attack is declared afterwards)
It's not a big deal, I just want to know how we will play this.

I did it according to the following rule. if not valid then the factor stays
with the corps.
7.5.1.1 DEFENDER RETIREMENT INTO CITY: Any forces or portion o 1f
forces upon whom an attack is declared may immediately retire into any
friendly controlled or vacant, and unbesieged city in that area but not so as
to exceed that city's garrison capacity
