That amount of movement is fractional - really fractional - compared with today's day to day movement of people. The only thing the war did was mimic what happens in heavily populated places today like Guandong, Mexico City, etc - bring a lot of people (soldiers in regiments) into a densely packed area making transmission easier within that community, creating a critical mass of infected persons.
