Edit.

But Jaune would realize that it's an illusion. If Cinder really wanted to mess with him then she would have Emerald conjuring up Pyrrha. That would be worse though. With Pyrrha dead, Jaune would instantly know its an illusion and try to disregard her. Weiss on the other hand takes advantage of the fact they are in the middle of a battlefield. Jaune would have to constantly consider whether or not him seeing Weiss hurt is an illusion or the real thing, tripping him up in battle. If he disregards her, theres always the chance he just left Weiss to die. If he goes to help her, not only will Cinder aim to stop him to cause more suffering, but he then plays into their hands by falling for it.

Its mental torture for Jaune, since Weiss is one of his closest friends, his first shown love (who he did get over), and the one he called when Pyrrha ran off. Regardless of whether you ship White Knight (I don't btw), Weiss is important to Jaune. She is the girl he pinned for, but upon realizing what she truly wanted (Neptune) allowed him to grow as a person (With alot of help from Pyrrha), and after dropping the crush, he became a real friend to her. Outside of his own team, the only people there he is closest too is Weiss and Ruby (Yang he doesn't really interact with too much). And with Ren and Nora fighting Hazel, and Cinder assumedly knowing Hazel wouldn't kill them or approve of her method making it seem he did, and Ruby she wanting to save for later, Weiss was the best option.
