Lots. There are a lot of variables to consider. What size artillery shell? What type of fuze? How close are the soldiers to each other? What sort of protection do they have? A large shell with an air burst over closely packed troops could easily kill dozens and wound dozens more. A small shell landing in a fox hole might only kill the soldier in that hole.

How many people did artillery kill in World War I?

In World War 1 around 8,500,000 soilders died during World War One. Now artillery killed the most people in World War 1. But to be totally honest it is impossible to know exactly how many people died because of Artillery in World War 1. Studies have shown however that around 65% of all deaths during World War One were caused by artillery. If we do the math this comes out to around 5,525,000 people. So to answer your question no-one really knows but peoples best guess is that 4.5 to 5.5 million people died because of artillery in World War One.

How artillery was used in World War 1?

Artillery was the primary counter-trench warfare weapon because the only way to really be assured of killing guys in a trench is to use a weapon whose projectiles travel in an arc. The Germans had an interesting tactic: they set mortar bombs for impact burst (which means they explode when they hit, not before) and tried to drop them into the Allied trenches. It didn't succeed often because mortars are famously inaccurate, but when it did it killed a lot of people. The Allies, who were mostly using French guns, would set their rounds to explode over the trenches. Since overhead cover hadn't been invented yet, this was more successful.
