[With more tactical training, maybe Souji could be made to focus his powers on the 'eyes' of the canons as well - that is, if he knew where they are. As it is, he only has aggressive retaliation for whatever is fired at him.
But it's not as if the heightened state he's in makes him incapable of critical thinking - in a very specialized sense, it's rather the opposite. The further he pushes his power, the further he realizes that he can see large parts of the battle, all of it hanging together like machinery.
He just doesn't know what to do with it. So he does the one thing that comes most naturally to him, landing next to Hijikata after taking a leap off a canon. Giving his sleeve a tug, he mutely points out the weapons that are going to go off next close to them, one after the other.]
