Nonetheless, after three days of heavy fighting, the Easterlings forced them to retreat to the Lonely Mountain, where they were besieged. Though Sauron's forces were probably more numerous, it is likely that the Dwarves and Men of Dale were better equipped, thanks to the Lonely Mountain's armouries. The combined forces of the Men of Dale under King Brand and the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain (and the Dwarves of the Iron Hills) under King Dáin II Ironfoot met the Easterlings in battle on March 17, 3019. While his southern armies menaced Gondor, Sauron sent a large contingent of his Easterling allies to assault Dale to prevent his enemies from joining forces, and they crossed the River Carnen while Minas Tirith was being besieged. The Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain and the Men of Dale refused to acknowledge the overlordship and alliance of Sauron when he approached them via emissaries, seeking knowledge of The Shire.

The Easterlings were initially very successful, driving the Dwarves and Men of Dale back and besieging them for several days, but were later routed. The Battle of Dale was a battle fought between the Kingdom of Dale allied with the Dwarves of Erebor and the Iron Hills, against the Easterlings of Rhûn in the valley of Dale during the War of the Ring in the late Third Age, and was the decisive battle in the Northern Theater of the War of the Ring.
