Come on, no one is that retard to cross a deep river with their enemies waiting on the opposing side.

This story is obviously fictional to give Alexander more of an exalted title. So, what do you think actually happen of the battle of the Granicus? Did he divided his troops in opposite directions(before the Persian arrived), as one portion assaults the front of the Persian army while the other portion attacks the rear, or what?

Why not? You see similar things like with Eugene of Savoy's contingent at Blenheim. Just because you find it incredible doesn't mean that it didn't happen.
If you're going to doubt anything that seems a little weird, why stop at Granicus? Why not extend that to the siege of Tyre, or the battle of Platea (who would be dumb enough to attack with part of your force up a hill?), or any number of battles where seemingly insane stunts worked out?
