to advance = to move forward
Before the Battle of Gettysburg, the southern army was moving north and pushing the northern army back (towards the north).
After the battle, the circumstances reversed. The northern army started moving south and began pushing the southern army back (towards the south).
The "tide of victory" turned (reversed direction) at the Battle of Gettysburg. Before that, the South was winning. After that, the North began winning.

When an army moves forward, that would be referred to as an "advance."
The same word would also be used as a verb - "The Southern army is advancing."

Armies are said to "advance" against their enemies or into their territory.
Here you could equally say "move" or "progress".
