No, two. If it were spelled "cride", like "chide" it would be one. But just as "beloved" has three in the still familiar "dearly belovéd" as it is pronounced by preachers at funerals, and has also been pronounced "belov'd" even since Shakespeare's time if the occasion or the meter of the line of poetry demands it, yet is still three syllables, so "cried" is two syllables long.
In modern English, the vowel in the second syllable of "cried" is a schwa (a German spelling - pronounced "shva"), which is the phonetic name used by linguistics (actually a Hebrew vowel) for the shortest vowel sound. In Hebrew, the schwa can have a very short e sound, as in "Belinda"; or it can have no sound at all - merely a place holder, as between the B and the l of "Blanche".
