Artillery is a class of heavy military ranged weapons that launch munitions far beyond the range and power of infantry firearms.
Early artillery development focused on the ability to breach defensive walls and fortifications during sieges, and led to heavy, fairly immobile siege engines.
As technology improved, lighter, more mobile field artillery cannons developed for battlefield use. This development continues today; modern self-propelled artillery vehicles are highly mobile weapons of great versatility generally providing the largest share of an army's total firepower.

IS ARTILLERY THE GOD OF WAR?
But why?
First of all, because for centuries artillery has hit the enemy at a distance. Infantry and cavalry needed to get close to the enemy to fight.
But the artillery of the late XIX century could already kill for many kilometers. And from closed positions - when the shots are not even visible.
