"So what are they doing?"
"They're probably testing the artillery range."
"Is Qin Liangyu crazy?" Li Zicheng laughed, "You don't even know how to look down on others! Our artillery is high up, and theirs is low, so it's almost the same if we bombard them."
A dozen Ming soldiers quickly set up the artillery. They took the gunpowder boxes and projectiles from the carriages and began to load them.
Li Zicheng shouted to the artillerymen around him: "Aim at them and prepare to fire."
The Shun army artillerymen looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, we can't reach it."

Even if you can't hit the enemy, you have to fire, otherwise it will affect your own morale.
boom!
Three cannons on the city wall fired at the same time, hitting the Ming army artillery in the distance.
