Ah, but remember, there was a battle at the Lonely Mountain. An army of Orcs and other generally vicious things attacked Dale, whose King, Prince, and army fled to the Lonely Mountain. There, they prepared for a siege, which did come. Eventually, both King Dain and King Brand were killed, and their sons managed to hold the Lonely Mountain until they managed to beat off their foes. So Sauron did send an army North, probably to get rid of, or weaken, those two kingdoms, so that he could defeat them later, when he had more strength.
