Supplies to Ninguni (4) - convoy attacked ...

The convoy left the Saluzi oasis and headed off skirting the edges of the sandy areas.....
The tribesman had cut across the desert area and gathered more men, they waited for the convoy in a rocky area....
the convoy continue onwards entering the rocky area ....
the way through is blocked, a possible rock fall. The convoy escort take up positions while a way round is considered ... 
The tribesmen prepare to spring their trap ....

---oXo---

Meanwhile at the fort near Ninguni, a few tribesmen get into range and start some random sniping fire at the defenders...
 
---oXo---

As the convoy leader considered back-tracking and using an alternate route, a flurry of shots from hidden tribesmen whizzed through the air -"Its a trap".....

The convoy managed to reverse backwards, losing men from its escort ....
as two of the lorries got clear the other got stuck in the sand ....
the tribesmen close in on the stranded lorry ....
as the other two lorries move off as fast as they can over the uneven ground ...
the tribesmen capture the stranded lorry, their leader looks to see where the rest of the convoy went ....
the rest of the convoy is moving away ...
the tribesmen set the captured lorry on fire after removing what they want ...
after some time the convoy arrives near the fort ....
and start to unload the supplies ....
the leader of the tribesmen watches the unloading of supplies
the tribesman disappear into the desert,  perhaps another time they could attack the fort - they will have to gather more men...... the fort is safe for now.....
