He deliberately delayed so that Zhang He could lead his soldiers to ambush nearby and wait for him to enter the ambush.
"Taishi Ci, don't blame me. Blame yourself for being too greedy and reckless. This is the will of Heaven, and you can't escape today!"
"Release the arrows!!!"
Cao Ren roared, and the soldiers around him fired countless arrows, engulfing Taishi Ci in the horse pit.
Countless arrows pierced through Taishi Ci's body, instantly turning him into a pincushion. Blood stained his clothes and dripped down his body.
After struggling for a few moments, Taishi Ci collapsed into a pool of blood and died.
Looking at the dead Taishi Ci, Cao Ren breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, this trouble is gone."
Since Sun Ce's death, Taishi Ci has been the pinnacle of military strength in the Jiangdong army. His death dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Jiangdong army.

"Pfft!"
An arrow pierced through his chest. Zhou Yu stared wide-eyed at what was in front of him in disbelief, and fell off his horse.
"Grand Commander! Grand Commander!" Zhou Tai cried out in grief.
