I prefer a more conventional approach: get ahead of the convoy, penetrate a gap in the screen at very slow speed, get somewhat close to the merchants and fire six electric pattern runners. Then I dive at silent speed while turning into the convoy and I try to slip past the rear escorts without being detected.
