depends how big the cannon is...
a small hand-cannon, or hand-gonne of the late 14th C might have a range of only a few hundred metres, and an accurate range to hit a man-sized target of perhaps 40-50 metres at most.
the largest cannon, in the late 14th C, were capable of hurling large balls for 800-900m (1/2 a mile or more).
Note however that there is only a little known about development of firearms in the 14th C, with very few surviving peices, and most experimental Archaeology has focused on the 15th C when the cannon was more developed and became an integral military weapon of its day.
by the early 15th C, the great bombard cannon for seiges had been developed to the point where they could fire 500kg balls of up to 50cm in diameter to a range of over 1,600 metres. (1 mile)
