I wouldn't expect ALL your artillery to be enchanted. Just a few sudden shots at ranges nobody would ever believe a ballista could fire would help demoralize the enemy. Sometimes, it just takes a bit of demoralizing to turn the tide of battle.
For defensive purposes, how hard would it be to cover a large area in dry brush a day or two before the enemy arrives? Assuming proper scout reports, that is.
