冲

chōng

thoroughfare

to go straight ahead; to rush; to clash

ice (冫) + [sound] (中) = rush and surge forward

The ice radical (冫) evokes the forceful, unstoppable flow of rushing water or a breaking freeze. 中 gives the sound chōng; the meaning of charging forward comes entirely from the water-ice side.
