Discount the usual "I will covertly shoot them in the head from 300 yards" brigade or any common view that you would be the one initiating the encounter.

In that situation you have one choice, convince them that you are worth more alive than dead, for example offer them a cut of your crops for "protection".

What you do after that is tricky, you have to decide whether to keep on paying them, leg it, or ambush them when they come to collect.
