Can you talk outside of town?

In ancient times, every city had gates, but we can see from some movies that the gates of some cities were guarded by some officers and men, which was very strict. Then someone asked if people could take some special paths out of the city if the city gates were closed at night in ancient times.

I don't think it is possible. For example, the ancient city wall was particularly high and thick, and technology was underdeveloped at that time. It's hard to get out of such a thick wall, and even if there is, officers and men can easily find it. If you go that way again, it won't be a simple problem. You may be killed. So once the gates were closed in ancient times, it would be very difficult to get out of the city.

In ancient times, there was not only one door, but four doors in the southeast and northwest. This was guarded by four doors. It's easy to see your whereabouts when you go out at night, so it's difficult for you to escape from some nearby paths, so it's very difficult to get out of the city from the paths in ancient times. If you want to leave the city, you can only wait until the day and leave the city at night, unless you inform the officers and men to open the back door for you. Open the door and let you out, otherwise it will be too difficult for you to go out. Going out rashly may also risk being beheaded, so it is particularly troublesome to close the city gate before going out in ancient times.

Because there were many wars in ancient times, it would be a very dangerous problem if you went out and leaked the information of our soldiers, and it was also for the safety of the people. Since you can't get out, no one else can get in, which is also a problem for the enemy's attack. So there is a reason why the ancient city wall is so high and thick. In ancient times, not going out of the city after the city gate was closed may arouse others' suspicion and be put into prison, which is not worth the candle.
