In the Appendix its pretty clear that the attack against Gondor was only the bigger of the four that Sauron launched at the same time. He used his forces at Dol Guldur against Lorien and even tried to invade Rohan through the Wold. Thranduil of Mirkwood suffered another strong attack. And the easterlings fought for three days against Men and Dwarves in the battle of Dale before making them retreat inside the Lonely Mountain.
