Watch out for Mongols on the hill on your right. Sneak behind the back of two Mongols on the left. You can assassinate both of them.
Assassinate the second one and then you will be able to bypass the rocks next to which he stands on the left side.This way the Mongols from the hill will not notice you when you walk further.
