Thanks @Apache117X for an excellent solution. I have a few comments/suggestions:

I had the same concern about my allies taking out the enemies too early and just built a wall southwest of my base so that they couldn't get out of their area without boats, which they never built.

Also the german version has a translation error, which says you have to sent them 1000 gold.

If your Ally starts killing your enemy before you finished the achievement, you can just change the diplomacy towards him to enemy and clean up his troups.

This didn't unlock for me, and I really went overboard too... like 20 cannons and 60 of each of the infantry!

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition (PC) - Achievement - Fire with Fire

Amass 10 Condottieri, 10 Genoese Crossbowmen, and 10 Bombard Cannon in the fifth Dracula mission "The Night Falls".

This is a simple enough achievement, but painstakingly longer than it has to be. Play the mission as normal until you get your settlement with a Town Centre. When you explore the immediate area, you will find some Italian Mercenaries who offer the Condottieri and Genoese Crossbowmen. You can purchase them with gold by clicking on either the Barracks or Archery Range respectively. They will keep coming out until you click on something else or run out of gold. This part is simple and quick.
What isn't quick is the Craftsman who builds Bombard Cannons for you once you have transferred them 1000 food. He produces one Bombard Cannon approximately every bazillion years and you need to wait until you have 10 for the achievement to trigger. The only thing to beware of is finishing off your enemies too soon. As long as you leave your last enemy (Purple) alive until you have it, you'll be fine.

Play through the level until you get your town centre, once you do you will note near by there is a craftsman to the west who will create bombard cannons for you once you provide him with 1000 food. He takes time to make these so keep them safe at the back of your base. To the north of your base is the Italian village. By clicking on the archery range and barracks you will buy Genoese Crossbowmen and Condottieri, respectively. Once you have your bombard cannons, buy 10 of each and the achievement will unlock. Just make sure you don't complete the mission before you have 10 of each at once.

The mission is divided into 2 parts. First you need to destroy 4 camps and liberate the city. After this, it will be possible to gain control over the city center, workers and build a base. From your base, go a little to the right and you will find Teutons and Italian mercenaries (yellow).
There should be no problems with 10 condottieres and Genoese crossbowmen, just “click” on the barracks to buy (for gold) condottieres and a “shooting range” for Genoese crossbowmen.
To get bombards, you first need to fulfill the request of the Teutons (give them 1000 food). After that, they will start producing 1 bombard every 5 minutes of real time.
On standard difficulty, an ally can take out enemies before you accumulate 10 bombards. Build walls and block an ally on his half, he will not move through the water.
