Yes. After the Union army defeated the Southern soldiers in battles, many blacks left the places where they were kept as slaves and went over to the Union lines, showing the Union soldiers places in the nearby area that might help them to win the war. Many former black slaves joined General William T. Sherman's army as he marched through the south from Georgia, to South and North Carolina.

Would blacks cross over to the Union lines after Union victories in the South?

Blacks were not serving in the Confederate armies until the very last days of the war. After Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation (effective January 1863), Union troops were licensed to free any slaves they came across in the rebel states. These ex-slaves would follow the Union armies, having nothing better to do, and were gradually employed as fatigue-labiur, and eventually some were put into uniform.
