In briefanswer capsule

Five Armies set Goblins and wild Wolves against Elves, Men, and Dwarves. After the Great Goblin ruling in the Misty Mountains was slain, Goblin hatred of Dwarves revived. A host massed at Gundabad, their northern capital, then, hearing Smaug had died, pressed south through successive nights close behind Dáin. Ravens saw nothing until they issued onto the waste between the Lonely Mountain and the ridges at its back. Gandalf was unprepared for that assault.
