AFAIK never used in a sentence.
KGT 48: Common militaristic acts also have associated terminology, both verbs ({DoHmoH}, drive back; {Hub}, defend; {yot}, invade; {weH}, raid ... {HIv}, attack, assault; {Sev}, contain; {HeD}, retreat, withdraw) and nouns ({yot}, invasion, raid, incursion; {Hub}, defense).
KGT 49: {HeDchu'} ("retreat perfectly") means simply that there is a full withdrawal; though death may occur as part of the retreat, it is not necessarily implied by the verb.
More related words:
DoH back away from, back off, get away from (v)
jun take evasive action (v)
nargh escape (v)
Dan occupy (military term) (v)
chol close in, get closer, come nearer (v)
Duv advance (v)
tlhetlh progress (v)
ghoS follow a course, proceed, come toward, approach (v)
paw arrive, reach (v)
