Your opponents' tactics would have worked great in a narrow mountain pass or a MOUT situation. Otherwise, they should have let you go by, or maybe stopped the front and rear vehicles and then un-assed the area at best. They might have even had enough time to get reinforcements before you had things sorted out. But they weren't going to stop you dead.
